1 I love the Lord, because He hears My voice and my supplications.

2 B ecause He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live.

3 T he cords of death encompassed me And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow.

4 T hen I called upon the name of the Lord: “O Lord, I beseech You, save my life!”

5 G racious is the Lord, and righteous; Yes, our God is compassionate.

6 T he Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.

7 R eturn to your rest, O my soul, For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

8 F or You have rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, My feet from stumbling.

9 I shall walk before the Lord In the land of the living.

10 I believed when I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”

11 I said in my alarm, “ All men are liars.”

12 W hat shall I render to the Lord For all His benefits toward me?

13 I shall lift up the cup of salvation And call upon the name of the Lord.

14 I shall pay my vows to the Lord, Oh may it be in the presence of all His people.

15 P recious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of His godly ones.

16 O Lord, surely I am Your servant, I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid, You have loosed my bonds.

17 T o You I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving, And call upon the name of the Lord.

18 I shall pay my vows to the Lord, Oh may it be in the presence of all His people,

19 I n the courts of the Lord’s house, In the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
