Psalm 116:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ The cords and sorrows of death were around me, and the terrors of Sheol (the place of the dead) had laid hold of me; I suffered anguish and grief (trouble and sorrow).

⁴ Then called I upon the name of the Lord: O Lord, I beseech You, save my life and deliver me!

⁵ Gracious is the Lord, and [rigidly] righteous; yes, our God is merciful.
