Psalms 116:1-9

I love the LORD, because he listens to my prayers for help. He paid attention to me, so I will call to him for help as long as I live. The ropes of death bound me, and the fear of the grave took hold of me. I was troubled and sad. Then I called out the name of the LORD. I said, “Please, LORD, save me!” The LORD is kind and does what is right; our God is merciful. The LORD watches over the foolish; when I was helpless, he saved me. I said to myself, “Relax, because the LORD takes care of you.” LORD, you saved me from death. You stopped my eyes from crying; you kept me from being defeated. So I will walk with the LORD in the land of the living.
