Psalm 116:5-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
II
5 Gracious is the Lord and righteous;
yes, our God is merciful.(A)
6 The Lord protects the simple;
I was helpless, but he saved me.
7 Return, my soul, to your rest;
the Lord has been very good to you.(B)
8 For my soul has been freed from death,
my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.(C)
