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
LORDS house, in the
midst of thee, O
Jerusalem.
Praise ye the
LORD.
