¹ I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice, And my cries for mercy. ² Because he has turned his ear to me, Therefore I will call on him as long as I live. ³ The cords of death surrounded me, The pains of She'ol got a hold on me. I found trouble and sorrow. ⁴ Then called I on the name of the LORD: "The LORD, I beg 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, 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 said, "I was greatly afflicted." ¹¹ I said in my haste, "All men are liars." ¹² What will I give to the LORD for all his benefits toward me? ¹³ I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the LORD. ¹⁴ I will pay my vows to the LORD, Yes, in the presence of all his people. ¹⁵ Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his holy ones. ¹⁶ LORD, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains. ¹⁷ I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call on the name of the LORD. ¹⁸ I will pay my vows to the LORD, Yes, in the presence of all his people, ¹⁹ In the courts of the LORD's house, In the midst of you, Yerushalayim. Praise the LORD!
