Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you

Psalm 116:1-117:2

I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow. Then I called on the name of the Lord: “Lord, save me!”

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

For you, Lord, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living.

Truly I am your servant, Lord; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains. I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the Lord. I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people, in the courts of the house of the Lord— in your midst, Jerusalem.

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants. 

I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the Lord. I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people, in the courts of the house of the Lord— in your midst, Jerusalem.

Why?

The Lord heard my voice, even though I don't know the reaction of the Lord but I know God has been good to me, my soul should rest! Don't disturb by the trouble and distress and sorrow. 

I have experienced the goodness of the Lord, God has delivered me from death, so I will sacrifice a thank offering to the Lord and call on the name of the Lord as long as I live in the land.
