1. I love the Lord because He has heardmy appeal for mercy.
2. Because He has turned His ear to me,I will call out to Him as long as I live.
3. The ropes of death were wrapped around me,and the torments of Sheol overcame me;I encountered trouble and sorrow.
4. Then I called on the name of Yahweh:“Yahweh, save me! ”
5. The Lord is gracious and righteous;our God is compassionate.
6. The Lord guards the inexperienced;I was helpless, and He saved me.
7. Return to your rest, my soul,for the Lord has been good to you.
