Psalm 116: 7
"Retun(to turn back, show action in putting something down, to walk away from what you are doing) to your rest(cease from motion, absence of moving, to stop, the refreshing quiet, relief or freedom, solitude, take a break) Oh my soul(self, emotions, passions, inner being, turmoils or troubles) For the Lord has dealt bountifully(blessed, been good to, rewarded, bestowed gifts, been generous) with you."
David was praising God in this Psalm because he had just been delivered from death. It must have been a time when they were in war and David was stressed out about dying. He recognized God's provision of giving him a second chance. David loved God, he strayed a couple times, but always came back to His maker. God give me the wisdom and strength to put down what I think is important at that time and draw away to spend some relaxing peaceful time in your presence. You have rewarded me, you have been extremely wonderful, gracious, compassionate, loving, and forgiving of me. I praise you for delivering me from death also, just like David did, walking away from stress, turning to take a break and look to you for peace. I love you Lord, in Jesus name, amen.
