Psalms 116:1-9

I Love the Lord

1 I alove the Lord, because he has bheard
my 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.
 7Return, O my soul, to your krest;
for the Lord has ldealt bountifully with you.
 8 For myou have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling;
 9I will walk before the Lord
nin the land of the living.
