1 I love the Lord, because He has heardMy voice and my supplications.
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me,Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.
3 The pains of death surrounded me,And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me;I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called upon the name of the Lord:“O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!”
5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;Yes, our God is merciful.
6 The Lord preserves the simple;I was brought low, and He saved me.
7 Return to your rest, O my soul,For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
