1 I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my supplications.
2 Because he has inclined his ear unto me, therefore I will call upon him all of my days.
3 The sorrows of death compassed me and the pains of Sheol found me; I encountered trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called upon the name of the Lord, saying, O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
