Psalm 116

Thanksgiving for Rescue from Death.

1I love the Lord, because He hears
My voice and my pleas.
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.
4Then 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.
7Return to your rest, my soul,
For the Lord has dealt generously with you.
8For You have rescued my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from stumbling.
9I shall walk before the Lord
In the land of the living.
