I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living.
1. I love the Lord, because he has heard the voice of my supplication, because he has inclined his ear to me whenever I called upon him.
2. The cords of death entangled me; the grip of the grave took hold of me; I came to grief and sorrow. 3. Then I called upon the name of the Lord; "O Lord, I pray you, save my life."
I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living.
4. Gracious is the Lord and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
5. The Lord watches over the innocent; I was brought very low, and he helped me.
I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living.
6. Turn again to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has treated you well.
7. For you have rescued my life from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.
I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living.
