Psalms 116:1-9

1I love Adonai, for He hears my voice, my cries.

2Because He has turned His ear to me, I will call on Him all my days.

3The ropes of death entangled me, and the torments of Sheol found me. I found trouble and sorrow.

4Then I called upon the Name of Adonai: “Adonai, save my soul!”

5Adonai is gracious and righteous— yes, our God is compassionate.

6Adonai protects the simple-hearted. When I was brought low, He saved me.

7Return to your rest, my soul, for Adonai has been good to you.

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

9I will walk before Adonai in the lands of the living.
