The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of destruction assailed me; the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called upon the LORD; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.
My sin was overwhelming, my destruction complete, lost without a compass, none of my striving was of any value, but … You heard, You answered, You said, “Here am I my son, enter into my rest.”
