Psalm 116:2-12
2
Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
3
The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
4
Then I called on the name of the LORD: “LORD, save me!”
5
The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
6
The LORD protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me.
7
Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
8
For you, LORD, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
9
that I may walk before the LORDin the land of the living.
10
I trusted in the LORD when I said, “I am greatly afflicted”;
11
in my alarm I said, “Everyone is a liar.”
12
What shall I return to the LORDfor all his goodness to me?
