Psalms 116:2 in context

Psalms 116:1–5

I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice,

and my cries for mercy.

Selected verse

Because he has turned his ear to me,

therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

The cords of death surrounded me,

the pains of Sheol got a hold of me.

I found trouble and sorrow.

Then I called on the LORD’s name:

“LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul.”

The LORD is gracious and righteous.

Yes, our God is merciful.
