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.

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.
