(NIV) Psalm 116:1-7

“I LOVE the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.

2Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.

3The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me; I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.

4Then I called on the name of the LORD; “˜O LORD, save me!”™

5The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.

6The LORD protects the simplehearted; when I was in great need, he saved me.

7Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.”
