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.
7 Return to your rest, my soul,for the Lord has been good to you.
8 For You, Lord, rescued me from death,my eyes from tears,my feet from stumbling.
9 I will walk before the Lordin the land of the living.
