Psalms 116:1-9 ▼

1 I have loved because YHWH has heard the voice of my supplications,

2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, even in the day I called.

3 The cords of death surrounded me, and the straits of Sheol found me; distress and sorrow did I find.

4 And in the name of YHWH I called out: “I pray, O YHWH, deliver my soul!”

5 Gracious is YHWH, and righteous; and our God is compassionate.

6 YHWH preserves the simple ones; I was brought low, and to me He gave salvation.

7 Return my soul, to your rest, for YHWH has dealt kindly with you.

8 For you were rescued from death, O my soul, my eye from tears, my feet from stumbling.

9 I will walk before the face of YHWH in the land of the living.
