When I was brought low  …

When I was brought low (Ps. 116:6),

When I am greatly afflicted (v. 10),

When I found distress and sorrow (v. 3),

Then I called upon the name of the Lord,

“O Lord, I beseech You, save my life!” (v. 4)

God, who is gracious and righteous and compassionate (v. 5),

Inclines His ear to me (v. 2) and hears my voice and supplications (v. 1)

And protects me and rescues my soul from death (v. 8) and saves me (v. 6).

Also, He rescues my eyes from tears and my feet from stumbling (v. 8).

As a result, my soul has returned to my rest (v. 7) by God’s grace.

Therefore,

I love the Lord (v. 1),

I shall call upon Him as long as I live (v. 2),

I shall walk before the Lord in the land of living (v. 9).
