3 Death attacked from all sides,and I was capturedby its painful chains.But when I was really suffering,
4 I prayed and said, “Lord,please don't let me die!”
5 You are kind, Lord,so good and merciful.
6 You protect ordinary people,and when I was helpless,you saved me
7 and treated me so kindlythat I don't needto worry any more.
8 You, Lord, have savedmy life from death,my eyes from tears,my feet from stumbling.
9 Now I will walk at your sidein this land of the living.
