“Gracious is Yahweh!
Righteous is Yahweh!
Our God is merciful!
Yahweh protects the simple.
When I was brought low,
He saved me.
Return!
O my soul!
To your rest!
Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.”
Then the psalmist addressed God directly but yet at the same time talking about him. Yahweh is gracious, righteous, and merciful. His God, Yahweh protects the simple. When he was in a bad situation, Yahweh saved him. He wanted his soul to return to peace and rest.
