I love the LORD for He hears my voice, my pleas;
for He turns His ear to me whenever I call.
The bonds of death encompassed me; the torments of Sheol overtook me. I came upon trouble and sorrow
and I invoked the name of the LORD, “O LORD, save my life!”
The LORD is gracious and beneficent; our God is compassionate.
The LORD protects the simple; I was brought low and He saved me.
Be at rest, once again, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
You have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
I shall walk before the LORD in the lands of the living.
I trust [in the LORD]; out of great suffering I spoke
and said rashly, “All men are false.”
