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. |
