1 I love the Lord, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.
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,
9 that I may walk before
the Lord
in the land of the living.
