I do love, because Jehovah hearsMy voice, my entreaties.For he has inclined his ear to me,And throughout my days I shall call.The ropes of death encircle meAnd the distressing circumstances of she'ol themselves found me.Distress and grief I kept finding.But upon the name of Jehovah I proceeded to call:"Ah, Jehovah, do provide my soul with escape!"Jehovah is gracious and righteous;And our God is One showing mercy.Jehovah is guarding the inexperienced ones.I was impoverished, and he proceeded to save even me.Return to your resting place, Oh my soul,For Jehovah himself has acted appropriately toward you.For you have rescued my soul from death,My eyes from tears, my foot from stumbling.I will walk before Jehovah in the lands of those living.psalms116 1-9
