Psalm 116:5-9 Part 1 of 2

How kind the LORD is! How good he is!

    So merciful, this God of ours!

The LORD protects those of childlike faith;

    I was facing death and he saved me.

Let my soul be at rest again,

    for the LORD has been good to me.

He has saved me from death,

    my eyes from tears,

    my feet from stumbling.

And so I walk in the LORD's presence 

    as I live here on earth.
