The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

Then I called on the name of the LORD: "LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul."

The LORD is Gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.

The LORD preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.

Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
