Psalm 116:3-7

New International Version

³ The cords of death^(A) entangled me,
    the anguish of the grave came over me;
    I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
⁴ Then I called on the name^(B) of the Lord:
    “Lord, save me!^(C)”

⁵ The Lord is gracious and righteous;^(D)
    our God is full of compassion.^(E)
6 The Lord protects the unwary;
    when I was brought low,^(F) he saved me.^(G)

⁷ Return to your rest,^(H) my soul,
    for the Lord has been good^(I) to you.
