2 Because He has inclined His ear to me,therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.
3 The cords of death encircled me,and the pains of Sheol took hold ofme;I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then called I upon the name of the Lord:“O Lord, I plead with You, deliver my soul.”
5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;indeed, our God is merciful.
6 The Lord protects the simple;I was brought low, and He helped me.
7 Return to your rest, O my soul;for the Lord has vindicated you.
8 For You have delivered my soul from death,my eyes from tears,and my feet from falling.
