[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!
