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.
10 I believed, even when I said,“I am severely afflicted.”
11 In my alarm I said,“Everyone is a liar.”
