Context of Psalms 116:4
2Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live. 3The snares of death encompassed me And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow. Then I called upon the name of the Lord: “Please, Lord, save my life!” 5Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; Yes, our God is compassionate. 6The Lord watches over the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.
