1
I love Yahweh, 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 on me. I found trouble and sorrow.
4
Then called I on the name of Yahweh: "Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul."
