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 {cf15i upon him} as long as I live.
3. The cords of death compassed me, and the pains of Sheol 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 saved 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, {cf15i and} my feet from falling.
9. I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10. I believe, for I will speak: I was greatly afflicted:
11. I said in my haste, All men are a lie.
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, yea, 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, 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, yea, 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.
