Psalms 116:1-6
I Love the Lord
1 I alove the Lord, because he has bheardmy voice and my pleas for mercy.
2Because he cinclined his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
3 dThe snares of death encompassed me;
the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
I suffered distress and anguish.
4Then eI called on the name of the Lord:
“O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!”
5 fGracious is the Lord, and grighteous;
our God is hmerciful.
6The Lord preserves ithe simple;
when jI was brought low, he saved me.
