I love the Lord, because he has heard the voice of my supplication, because he has inclined his ear to me whenever I called upon him, therefore, I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living. Psalm 116

“The cords of death entangled me, the grip of the grave took hold of me; I came to grief and sorrow. Then, I called upon the name of the Lord: O Lord, O pray you, save my life. How shall I repay the Lord, for all the good things he has done for me? I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people. O Lord, I am your servant, the child of your handmaid, you have freed me from my bonds. I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call upon the name of the Lord. I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living.”
