1 I love the Lord,because he listens to my prayers for help.
2 He paid attention to me,so I will call to him for help as long as I live.
3 The ropes of death bound me,and the fear of the grave took hold of me.I was troubled and sad.
4 Then I called out the name of the Lord.I said, “Please, Lord, save me!”
5 The Lord is kind and does what is right;our God is merciful.
