Psalms 116:1-7

Leeser(i) 1 It is lovely to me that the Lord heareth my voice, my supplications. 2 For he hath inclined his ear unto me: therefore throughout all my days will I call on him. 3 The bands of death had compassed me, and the pangs of the nether world had overtaken me; I had met with distress and sorrow: 4 I then called on the name of the Lord, I beseech thee, O Lord, release my soul. 5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; and our God is merciful. 6 The Lord preserveth the simple: I was in misery, and he helped me. 7 Return, O my soul, unto thy rest; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
