1I love Yahweh, because he hears my voice, my pleas for mercy.

2Because he has inclined his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.

3The cords of death encircled me, and the distresses of Sheol found me; I found trouble and sorrow.

4Then I called on the name of Yahweh: “Please, Yahweh, rescue my life!”
