he heard my cry for mercy Because he turned his ear to me

I love the Lord, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.

2 

Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.

3 

The cords of death entangled me,
the anguish of the grave came over me;
I was overcome by distress and sorrow.

4 

Then I called on the name of the Lord:
“Lord, save me!”

5 

The Lord is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.

6 

The Lord protects the unwary;
when I was brought low, he saved me.

7 

Return to your rest, my soul,
for the Lord has been good to you.

8 

For you, Lord, have delivered me from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,

9 

that I may walk before the Lord
in the land of the living.
