4 So I called on the Lord’s name:"Lord, please save me!"
5 The Lord is merciful and righteous;our God is compassionate.
6 The Lord protects simple folk;he saves me whenever I am brought down.
7 I tell myself, You can be at peace again,because the Lord has been good to you.
8 You, God, have delivered me from death,my eyes from tears,and my foot from stumbling,
9 so I’ll walk before the Lordin the land of the living.
10 I have remained faithful, even when I said,"I am suffering so badly!"
