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.
