⁵ The Eternal is full of grace and naturally just;
    our God is compassionate and merciful.
⁶ And the Eternal watches over the naive.
    Whenever I was knocked down, He reached down and saved me.
⁷ O my soul! Return and relax. Come to your true rest,
    for the Eternal has showered you with His favor.

⁸ God, You alone rescued my soul from the grips of death,
    my eyes from weeping,
    and my feet from slipping.
⁹ I will come before the Eternal
    as long as I journey in the land of the living.
