Psalms 116:1-9 ▼

1 I love that the LORD should hear My voice and my supplications.

2 Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, Therefore will I call upon Him all my days.

3 The cords of death compassed me, And the straits of the nether-world got hold upon me; I found trouble and sorrow.

4 But I called upon the name of the LORD: 'I beseech thee, O LORD, deliver my soul.'

5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yea, our God is compassionate.

6 The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.

7 Return, O my soul, unto Thy rest; For the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, And my feet from stumbling.

9 I shall walk before the LORD In the lands of the living.
