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.
6. The Lord protects the simple;I was helpless, but he saved me.
7. Return, my soul, to your rest;the Lord has been very good to you.
8. For my soul has been freed from death,my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
