I will walk before the Lord, in the land of the living.
I love the Lord because He has heard
my voice in supplication.
Because He has inclined His ear to me
the day I called.
The cords of death encompassed me;
the snares of the netherworld seized upon me;
I fell into distress and sorrow,
And I called upon the name of the Lord,
"O Lord, save my life!"
Gracious is the Lord and just;
yes, our God is merciful.
The Lord keeps the little ones;
I was brought low, and He saved me.
For He has freed my soul from death,
my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
I shall walk before the Lord
in the land of the living
