Psalms 116:1-12

Psalms 116:1-12 NCV

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. I believed, so I said, “I am completely ruined.” In my distress I said, “All people are liars.” What can I give the LORD for all the good things he has given to me?
