116I ylove the Lord, because he has zheard
my voice and my pleas for mercy.
2Because he ainclined his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
3bThe snares of death encompassed me;
the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
I suffered distress and anguish.
4Then cI called on the name of the Lord:
“O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!”
