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."
