2 Because he turned his ear to me,I will call on him as long as I live.
3 The cords of death entangled me,the anguish of the grave came over me;I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the Lord:‘Lord, save me!’
5 The Lord is gracious and righteous;our God is full of compassion.
6 The Lord protects the unwary;when I was brought low, he saved me.
7 Return to your rest, my soul,for the Lord has been good to you.
8 For you, Lord, have delivered me from death,my eyes from tears,my feet from stumbling,
