Psalms 116 — Context

He has let my request come before him, and I will make my prayer to him all my days.

The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow.

Then I made my prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord, take my soul out of trouble.

The Lord is full of grace and righteousness; truly, he is a God of mercy.

The Lord keeps the simple; I was made low, and he was my saviour.

Come back to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has given you your reward.

You have taken my soul from the power of death, keeping my eyes from weeping, and my feet from falling.
