1 I love the Lord because He has heardmy appeal for mercy.
2 Because He has turned His ear to me,I will call out to Him as long as I live.
3 The ropes of death were wrapped around me,and the torments of Sheol overcame me;I encountered trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of Yahweh:“Yahweh, save me! ”
5 The Lord is gracious and righteous;our God is compassionate.
6 The Lord guards the inexperienced;I was helpless, and He saved me.
