1 I love the Lord for hearing me, for listening to my prayers.
2 Yes, he paid attention to me, so I will always call to him whenever I need help.
3 Death’s ropes were around me. The grave was closing in on me. I was worried and afraid.
4 Then I called on the Lord’S name. I said, “Lord, save me!”
5 The Lord is good and merciful; our God is so kind.
6 The Lord takes care of helpless people. I was without help, and he saved me.
