New Testament

Psalms 116:1-8 New Century Version (NCV)

1. I love the Lord,because he listens to my prayers for help.

2. He paid attention to me,so I will call to him for help as long as I live.

3. The ropes of death bound me,and the fear of the grave took hold of me.I was troubled and sad.

4. Then I called out the name of the Lord.I said, “Please, Lord, save me!”

5. The Lord is kind and does what is right;our God is merciful.

6. The Lord watches over the foolish;when I was helpless, he saved me.

7. I said to myself, “Relax,because the Lord takes care of you.”

8. Lord, you saved me from death.You stopped my eyes from crying;you kept me from being defeated.
