Psalm
Chapters 116:1-7
New International Version Anglicized
1I love the Lord, for he heard my voice;he heard my cry for mercy.
2Because he turned his ear to me,I will call on him as long as I live.
3The cords of death entangled me,the anguish of the grave came over me;I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
4Then I called on the name of the Lord:‘Lord, save me!’
5The Lord is gracious and righteous;our God is full of compassion.
6The Lord protects the unwary;when I was brought low, he saved me.
7Return to your rest, my soul,for the Lord has been good to you.
