Psalms 116:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice— my appeal for mercy.

2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live.

3 The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow.

4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, deliver my soul!”

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