Psalms 116:1-9 ▼

1 I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.

2 Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

3 The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.

4 Then I called on Yahweh’s name: “Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul.”

5 Yahweh is gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.

6 Yahweh preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.

7 Return to your rest, my soul, for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.

8 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

9 I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living.
