1. I love the Lord, because He has heardMy voice and my supplications.
2. Because He has inclined His ear to me,Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.
3. The pains of death surrounded me,And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me;I found trouble and sorrow.
4. Then I called upon the name of the Lord:“O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!”
5. Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;Yes, our God is merciful.
6. The Lord preserves the simple;I was brought low, and He saved me.
7. Return to your rest, O my soul,For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
8. For You have delivered my soul from death,My eyes from tears,And my feet from falling.
9. I will walk before the LordIn the land of the living.
10. I believed, therefore I spoke,“I am greatly afflicted.”
11. I said in my haste,“All men are liars.”
12. What shall I render to the LordFor all His benefits toward me?
13. I will take up the cup of salvation,And call upon the name of the Lord.
14. I will pay my vows to the LordNow in the presence of all His people.
15. Precious in the sight of the LordIs the death of His saints.
16. O Lord, truly I am Your servant;I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant;You have loosed my bonds.
17. I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving,And will call upon the name of the Lord.
18. I will pay my vows to the LordNow in the presence of all His people,
19. In the courts of the Lord’s house,In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.Praise the Lord!
