He listens to me, so I will call out to him all during my life.

Everything around me [MET] caused me to think that I would die; I was very afraid that I would [die and go to] the place where dead people are. I was very distressed/worried and afraid. (Sheol h7585)
4 Le nikanjieko ty tahina’ Iehovà: Ehe, r’Iehovà, hahao ty fiaiko!
[But] then I called out to Yahweh, saying, “Yahweh, I plead with you to save/rescue me!”
5 Matarike t’Iehovà naho mahity; Eka, mpitretrè t’i Andrianañaharentika.
Yahweh is kind and does what is right; he is our God, and he acts mercifully [to us].
