5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;our God is merciful.
6 The Lord preserves the simple;when I was brought low, he saved me.
7 Return, O my soul, to your rest;for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
8 For you have delivered my soul from death,my eyes from tears,my feet from stumbling;
9 I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
10 I believed, even when I spoke:“I am greatly afflicted”;
11 I said in my alarm, “All mankind are liars.”
