1 I love the LORD, because He has heard My voice and my supplications. |
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live. |
3 The pains of death surrounded me, And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow. |
4 Then I called upon the name of the LORD: "O LORD, I implore You, deliver my soul!" |
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful. |
6 The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. |
7 Return to your rest, O my soul, For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. |
8 For You have delivered my soul from death, My 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 I spoke, "I am greatly afflicted." |
11 I said in my haste, "All men are liars." |
12 What shall I render to the LORD For all His benefits toward me? |
13 I will take up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the LORD. |
14 I will pay my vows to 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 Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have loosed my bonds. |
17 I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the LORD. |
18 I will pay my vows to the LORD Now in the presence of all His people, |
19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, In the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD! |
