Psalm 116

¹I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my supplications.

²Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

³The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish.

⁴Then I called on the name of the Lord: “O Lord, I pray, save my life!”

⁵Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; our God is merciful.

⁶The Lord protects the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me.

⁷Return, O my soul, to your rest, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

⁸For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

⁹I walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
