Psalms 116: 1 - 6, 8 - 9
|
| 1
|
I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my supplications.
|
| 2
|
Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
|
| 3
|
The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish.
|
| 4
|
Then I called on the name of the LORD: "O LORD, I beseech thee, save my life!"
|
| 5
|
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; our God is merciful.
|
| 6
|
The LORD preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me.
|
| 8
|
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling;
|
| 9
|
I walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
