Hello Psalm 116.

This is my 116th post so I'm posting Psalm 116.

1 I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.

2 Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.

3 The cords of death entangled me,
the anguish of the grave came over me;
I was overcome by distress and sorrow.

4 Then I called on the name of the LORD:
"LORD, save me!"

5 The LORD is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.

6 The LORD protects the unwary;
when I was brought low, he saved me.

7 Return to your rest, my soul,
for the LORD has been good to you.

8 For you, LORD, have delivered me from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,

9 that I may walk before the LORD
in the land of the living.

10 I trusted in the LORD when I said,
"I am greatly afflicted";

11 in my alarm I said,
"Everyone is a liar."

12 What shall I return to the LORD
for all his goodness to me?

13 I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the LORD.

14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of the LORD
is the death of those faithful to him.

16 Truly I am your servant, LORD;
I am your servant, as was my mother before me;
you have loosed my bonds of affliction.

17 I will sacrifice a thank offering to you
and call on the name of the LORD.

18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all his people,

19 in the courts of the house of the LORD—
in your midst, Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD. (cheers to biblegateway.com)


(Psalm 116 TNIV)

Edit: I just re-read this and my 'tude for the day is just getting better and better... at first I had a somber attitude and I didn't know what was going on, something was keeping me down from being me, Carra, but then the number 116 put into the idea of checking out Psalm 116 which after reading this, the word of the Lord, makes me want to break the somber 'tude, break free!!!) I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR/SING WORSHIP SONGS AT RIHOP TONIGHT!


ANOTHER EDIT! Today is 1/16/09... which means the number 116 is in the date... as is the number post this is as well as the psalm chosen! YAY
