1. I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.
2. Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
3. The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.
4. Then I called on Yahweh’s name: “Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul.”
5. Yahweh is Gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.
6. Yahweh preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.
7. Return to your rest, my soul, for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.
8. For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
