1 I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice— my appeal for mercy. 2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live. 3 The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow. 4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, deliver my soul!” 5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. 6 The LORD preserves the simplehearted; I was helpless, and He saved me. 7 Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. 8 For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. 9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. 10 I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.” 11 In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!” 12 How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me? 13 I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD. 14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people. 15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints. 16 Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds. 17 I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD. 18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people, 19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
