1 I have given my love to the Lord, because he has given ear to the voice of my cry and my prayer.

2 He has let my request come before him, and I will make my prayer to him all my days.

2 Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.

3 The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow.

3 The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow.

8 For you, LORD, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,

9 I will go before the Lord in the land of the living.

9 that I may walk before the LORDin the land of the living.

10 I still had faith, though I said, I am in great trouble;

10 I trusted in the LORD when I said, “I am greatly afflicted”;

11 Though I said in my fear, All men are false.

11 in my alarm I said, “Everyone is a liar.”

12 What may I give to the Lord for all the good things which he has done for me?

12 What shall I return to the LORDfor all his goodness to me?

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and give praise to the name of the Lord.

16 Truly I am your servant, LORD; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains.
