1I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice —
my appeal for mercy.
2Because He has inclined His ear to me,
I will call on Him as long as I live.
3The ropes of death entangled me;
the anguish of Sheol overcame me;
I was confronted by trouble and sorrow.
4Then I called on the name of the LORD:
“O LORD, deliver my soul!”
5The LORD is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.
6The LORD preserves the simplehearted;
I was helpless, and He saved me.
7Return to your rest, O my soul,
for the LORD has been good to you.
— Psalm 116:1-7
