Psalm 116:1-4 Part 2 of 2

I love the LORD because he hears my voice
    and my prayer for mercy.
Because he bends down to listen,
    I will pray as long as I have breath.
Death wrapped its ropes around me;
    the terrors of the grave over took me.
    I saw only trouble and sorrow.
Then I called on the name of the LORD:
     "Please, LORD, save me!" 
 
Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave over took me. I saw only trouble and sorrow.
Psalm 18:4-6  
The ropes of death entangled me;
    floods of destruction swept over me.
The grave wrapped its ropes around me;
    death laid a trap in my path.
But in my distress I cried out to the LORD:
    yes, I prayed to my God for help.
He heard me from his sanctuary;
    my cry to him reached his ears.  (see all Psalm 18)
 
Then I called on the name of the LORD: "Please, LORD, save me!" 
Psalm 22:19-21  
O LORD, do not stay far away!
    You are my strength; come quickly to my aid!
Save me from the sword;
    spare my precious life from these dogs.
Snatch me from the lion's jaws
    and from the horns of these wild oxen.  (see all Psalm 22)
Psalm 86:1-2  
Bend down, O LORD, and hear my prayer;
    answer me, for I need your help.
Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
    Save me, for I serve  you and trust you. 
    You are my God.  (see all Psalm 86)
Psalm 118:5  
In my distress I prayed to the LORD,
    and the LORD answered me and set me free.  (see all Psalm 118)  
Psalm 120:1 
I took my troubles to the LORD;
    I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.  (see all Psalm 120)
