1 I love the Lord, because He hears My voice [and] my supplications.

2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I shall call [upon Him] as long as I live.

3 The cords of death encompassed me, And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow.

4 Then I called upon the name of the Lord: "O Lord, I beseech Thee, save my life!"

5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; Yes, our God is compassionate.

6 The Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.

7 Return to your rest, O my soul, For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

8 For Thou hast rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, My feet from stumbling.

9 I shall walk before the Lord In the land of the living.

10 I believed when I said, "I am greatly afflicted."

11 I said in my alarm, "All men are liars."

12 What shall I render to the Lord For all His benefits toward me?

13 I shall lift up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the Lord.

14 I shall pay my vows to the Lord, Oh [may it be] in the presence of all His people.

15 Precious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of His godly ones.

16 O Lord, surely I am Thy servant, I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast loosed my bonds.

17 To Thee I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving, And call upon the name of the Lord.

18 I shall pay my vows to the Lord, Oh [may it be] 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!
