Psalm 116:3-5

American Standard Version

³ The cords of death compassed me,
And the pains of Sheol ^[a]gat hold upon me:
I found trouble and sorrow.
⁴ Then called I upon the name of Jehovah:
O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
⁵ Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous;
Yea, our God is merciful.
