Psalm 116:1-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Psalm 116
Thanksgiving for Recovery from Illness
1 I love the Lord because he has heard
my voice and my supplications.(A)
2 Because he inclined his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.(B)
3 The snares of death encompassed me;
the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
I suffered distress and anguish.(C)
4 Then I called on the name of the Lord,
“O Lord, I pray, save my life!”
5 Gracious is the Lord and righteous;
our God is merciful.(D)
6 The Lord protects 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.(E)
8 For you have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling.(F)
9 I walk before the Lord
in the land of the living.
Luke 24:30-32
