That he hath inclined his ear unto me: therefore will I call
upon him as long as I live.
The snares of death compassed me round about: and the pains of
hell gat hold upon me.
I found trouble and heaviness, and I called upon the name of the
Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
Gracious is the Lord, and righteous: yea, our God is merciful.
The Lord preserveth the simple: I was in misery, and he helped me.
Turn again then unto thy rest, O my soul: for the Lord hath
rewarded thee.
And why? thou hast delivered my soul from death: mine eyes from
tears, and my feet from falling.
