"I will pray all my life."

In the midst of the crisis of life

and facing great suffering and sorrow due to affliction (Ps. 116:3, 8, 10),

when I am in distress (v. 6), shedding tears from my eyes,

and my feet about to stumble (v. 8),

I pray in the name of God: "Save my soul" (v. 4).

In those moments, God listens to my voice

and my supplication (v. 1) and delivered me (v. 6).

"The Lord saved my soul from death,

my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling" (v. 8).

Moreover, the Lord grants me peace and upholds me (v. 7).

Therefore, I love the Lord (v. 1).

I will pray all my life (v. 2).

I declare the Lord's deity:

"The Lord is gracious, righteous, and abounding in mercy,

our God is full of compassion" (v. 5).

I will live before God as long as I have life (v. 9).

I believed, still believe, and will continue to trust in the Lord (v. 10).

I want to repay all the grace that God has bestowed upon me (v. 12).

I desire to offer gratitude and praise to God (vv. 13, 17).

I dedicate myself to fulfill my vows to God (vv. 14, 18).

And I want to face death, which is precious in the sight of God (v. 15).
