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 on me. I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then called I on the name of Yahweh: "Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul."
5 Gracious is Yahweh, 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.
