1. I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.
2. Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
3. The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.
4. Then I called on Yahweh’s name: “Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul.”
5. Yahweh is Gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.
6. Yahweh preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.
