1 I love the LORD because He hears my voice [and] my prayers.

2 Because He has bowed down His ear to me, therefore I will call on [Him] in my days.

3 The sorrows of death hemmed me in, and the pains of hell took hold on me; I found trouble and sorrow.

4 Then I called on the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech You, deliver my soul.

5 Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God [is] merciful.

6 The LORD keeps the simple; I was brought low, and He helped 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, my feet from falling.

9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

10 I believed, therefore I have spoken; I was greatly afflicted;

11 I said in my haste, All men [are] liars.

12 What shall 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 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, and the son of Your handmaid; You have loosed my bonds.

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 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!
