1. I love the Lord because he hears my voice, my pleas for mercy.
2. I will call on him as long as I livebecause he turns his ear toward me.
3. The ropes of death became tangled around me.The horrors of the grave took hold of me.I experienced pain and agony.
4. But I kept calling on the name of the Lord:“Please, Lord, rescue me!”
5. The Lord is merciful and righteous.Our God is compassionate.
6. The Lord protects defenseless people.When I was weak, he saved me.
