Psalm 115:18–116:4

But we bless God, oh yes—

we bless him now, we bless him always!

Hallelujah!

^1–6116I love God because he listened to me,

listened as I begged for mercy.

He listened so intently

as I laid out my case before him.

Death stared me in the face,

hell was hard on my heels.

Up against it, I didn’t know which way to turn;

then I called out to God for help:

“Please, God!” I cried out.

“Save my life!”
