Kind and faithful is the Lord,
gentle is our God.
The Lord shelters the poor,
raises me from the dust.
Rest once more, my heart,
for you know the Lord’s love.
God rescues me from death,
wiping my tears,
steadying my feet.
I walk with the Lord
in this land of the living.
(Psalm 116:5-9 from The Psalter, ICEL, 1994)
