Psalms 116:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 116:1

1 I ^alove the Lord, because He has heard
My voice and my supplications.

2 Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

3 ^aThe¹ pains of death surrounded me,
And the¹ pangs of Sheol laid hold of me;
I found trouble and sorrow.

4 Then I called upon the name of the Lord:
“O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!”

5 ^aGracious is the Lord, and ^brighteous;
Yes, our God is merciful.

6 The Lord preserves the simple;
I was brought low, and He saved me.

7 Return to your ^arest, O my soul,
For ^bthe Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
