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.
6. The Lord watches over the foolish;when I was helpless, he saved me.
7. I said to myself, “Relax,because the Lord takes care of you.”
8. Lord, you saved me from death.You stopped my eyes from crying;you kept me from being defeated.
9. So I will walk with the Lordin the land of the living.
