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. |
