Understand

Psalm 116 is a personal thanksgiving from someone who was near death, cried to Yahweh, and was rescued. The speaker moves from love and distress to rest, public vows, and praise in Jerusalem. The chapter ends with thanksgiving brought into the worshiping community rather than kept as a private feeling.

Alleluia. Praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye peoples.

For his mercy has been abundant toward us: and the truth of the Lord endures for ever.

About this reading layout

Reading paragraphs add editorial spacing between unchanged verses. They do not reconstruct the original manuscript’s paragraphs. Verse numbers, supplied line breaks and citation links are retained. Books such as Psalms and Proverbs keep verses on separate lines; original-language and comparison views stay aligned by verse. Choose One verse per line in Reading settings whenever you prefer.
