1
I love the LORD, because He hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2
Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live.
3
The sorrows of death encompassed me, and the pains of hell got hold upon me; I found trouble and sorrow.
4
Then I called upon the name of the LORD: "O LORD, I beseech Thee, deliver my soul!"
5
Gracious is the LORD and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6
The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and He helped me.
7
Return unto thy rest, O my soul, for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8
For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10
I believed, therefore have I spoken: "I was greatly afflicted."
11
I said in my haste, "All men are liars."
12
What shall I render unto the LORD for all His benefits toward me?
13
I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the LORD.
14
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now, in the presence of all His people.
15
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.
16
O LORD, truly I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant and the son of Thine handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bonds.
17
I will offer to Thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
18
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all His people,
19
in the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD!
