✧I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications. ✧2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon [him] as long as I live. ✧3The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. ✧4Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. ✧5Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God [is] merciful. ✧6The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. ✧7Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. ✧8For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, [and] my feet from falling. ✧9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. ✧10I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: ✧11I said in my haste, All men [are] liars. ✧12What shall I render unto the LORD [for] all his benefits toward me? ✧13I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. ✧14I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. ✧15Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his saints. ✧16O LORD, truly I [am] thy servant; I [am] thy servant, [and] the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. ✧17I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. ✧18I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people, ✧19In the courts of the LORD’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
