✧1I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice— my appeal for mercy. ✧2Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live. ✧3The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow. ✧4Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, deliver my soul!” ✧5The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. ✧6The LORD preserves the simplehearted; I was helpless, and He saved me. ✧7Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. ✧8For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. ✧9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
