Psalms 116:3-8

3The 1snares of death encompassed me And the 2terrors of 3Sheol 4came upon me; I found distress and sorrow.4Then 5I called upon the name of the Lord: “Please, Lord, 6save my 7life!”

58Gracious is the Lord, and 9righteous; Yes, our God is 10compassionate.6The Lord watches over 11the simple; I was 12brought low, and He saved me.7Return to your 13rest, my soul, For the Lord has 14dealt generously with you.8For You have 15rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from stumbling.
