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.
5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6 The Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low, and he saved me.
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with thee.
