Psalm 116:4-9

[4] Then I called on the name of the LORD:

“O LORD, I pray, deliver my soul!”

[5] Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;

our God is merciful.

[6] The LORD preserves the simple;

when I was brought low, he saved me.

[7] Return, O my soul, to your rest;

for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.

[8] For you have delivered my soul from death,

my eyes from tears,

my feet from stumbling;

[9] I will walk before the LORD

in the land of the living.
