  5. I love the Lord, because he has heardmy voice and my pleas for mercy.2 Because he inclined his ear to me,therefore I will call on him as long as I live.3 The snares of death encompassed me;the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;I suffered distress and anguish.4 Then I called on the name of the Lord:“O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!” 5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;our God is merciful. - Psalm 116:1-5
