[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 compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
[4] Then called I 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.
