1. I love the Lord, 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 of me.I found trouble and sorrow.
4. Then I called on the Lord’s name:“Lord, I beg you, deliver my soul.”
