Psalms 116:1-10 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1. I love the Lord, because He hears My voice and my supplications.

2. Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live.

3. The cords of death encompassed me And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow.

4. Then I called upon the name of the Lord: "O Lord, I beseech You, save my life!"

5. Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; Yes, our God is compassionate.

6. The Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.

7. Return to your rest, O my soul, For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

8. For You have rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, My feet from stumbling.

9. I shall walk before the Lord In the land of the living.

10. I believed when I said, "I am greatly afflicted."
