1
I love the Lord, because He has heard My voice and my supplications.
2
Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.
3
The pains of death surrounded me, And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow.
4
Then I called upon the name of the Lord: "O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!"
5
Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful.
6
The Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.
7
Return to your rest, O my soul, For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
8
For You have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.
