Psalms 116:1-9

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

2Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

3The pains of death surrounded me, And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow.

4Then I called upon the name of the Lord: “O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!”

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

6The Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.

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

8For You have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.

9I will walk before the Lord In the land of the living.
