Psalm 116:1-6
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.
