Scripture
Annotation Lab
Slow down, notice what matters and make a connection. This short lab helps you practise three simple study skills with Psalm 116.
What catches your attention?
Read Psalm 116:1–9 slowly. Choose up to three phrases that feel important, surprising or personally meaningful. There is no perfect colour system and no single right choice.
1I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
4Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
Give the mark a reason.
A useful note records something you learn, think or feel. Select one lens, then write the prompt and your answer privately in your journal. The app does not ask you to type or submit it.
Let one scripture illuminate another.
Doctrine and Covenants 10:5 teaches us to “pray always” so that we may “come off conqueror”. Which verse in Psalm 116 does that teaching strengthen most clearly for you?
What theme would help you find this again?
A tag is optional, but it can help you gather related scriptures over time. Choose one theme for your Psalm 116 annotation.
Turn practice into a habit.
Choose one small action for your next personal scripture study. You can change it at any time.
The purpose of the app is to help you in your desire to return to your Heavenly Father, and to gain insights and meaning as we study the scriptures together.
