1 I love the Lord, because he hears me;he listens to my prayers.
2 He listens to meevery time I call to him.
3 The danger of death was all round me;the horrors of the grave closed in on me;I was filled with fear and anxiety.
4 Then I called to the Lord,“I beg you, Lord, save me!”
5 The Lord is merciful and good;our God is compassionate.
6 The Lord protects the helpless;when I was in danger, he saved me.
