1. I love Adonai, for He hears my voice, my cries.
2. Because He has turned His ear to me, I will call on Him all my days.
3. The ropes of death entangled me, and the torments of Sheol found me. I found trouble and sorrow.
4. Then I called upon the Name of Adonai: “Adonai, save my soul!”
5. Adonai is gracious and righteous— yes, our God is compassionate.
6. Adonai protects the simple-hearted. When I was brought low, He saved me.
