1. I love the Lord, who listenedto my voice in supplication,
2. Who turned an ear to meon the day I called.
3. I was caught by the cords of death;the snares of Sheol had seized me;I felt agony and dread.
4. Then I called on the name of the Lord,“O Lord, save my life!”
5. Gracious is the Lord and righteous;yes, our God is merciful.
