1 I love the LORD because he hears my voice, my pleas for mercy. 2 I will call on him as long as I live because he turns his ear toward me. 3 The ropes of death became tangled around me. The horrors of the grave took hold of me. I experienced pain and agony. 4 But I kept calling on the name of the LORD: |Please, LORD, rescue me!| 5 The LORD is merciful and righteous. Our God is compassionate. 6 The LORD protects defenseless people. When I was weak, he saved me. 7 Be at peace again, my soul, because the LORD has been good to you. 8 You saved me from death. You saved my eyes from tears [and] my feet from stumbling. 9 I will walk in the LORD's presence in this world of the living. Psalms 116:1-9, God's Word Translation.
