Psalm 116:1-7

Psalm 116 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.
