New Testament

Psalm 116:7-18 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

7. I said to myself, "Be calm. The Lord has been good to me."

8. Lord, you have saved me from death. You have dried the tears from my eyes. You have kept me from tripping and falling.

9. So now I can enjoy life here with you while I'm still living.

10. I believed in you even when I said to myself, "I'm in great pain."

11. When I was terrified, I said to myself, "No one tells the truth."

12. The Lord has been so good to me! How can I ever pay him back?

13. I will bring an offering of wine to the Lord and thank him for saving me. I will worship him.

14. In front of all of the Lord's people, I will do what I promised him.

15. The Lord pays special attention when his faithful people die.

16. Lord, I serve you. I serve you just as my mother did. You have set me free from the chains of my suffering.

17. Lord, I will sacrifice a thank offering to you. I will worship you.

18. In front of all of the Lord's people, I will do what I promised him.
