Context Reading
1I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice,and my cries for mercy. 2Because he has turned his ear to me,therefore I will call on him as long as I live. 3The cords of death surrounded me,the pains of Sheolgot a hold of me.I found trouble and sorrow. 4Then I called on Yahweh’s name:“Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul.” 5Yahweh is gracious and righteous.Yes, our God is merciful.
