I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice—my appeal for mercy. |
|
2
|
Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live. |
|
3
|
The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow. |
|
4
|
Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, deliver my soul!” |
|
5
|
The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. |
|
6
|
The LORD preserves the simplehearted; I was helpless, and He saved me. |
|
7
|
Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. |
|
8
|
For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. |
|
9
|
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. |
|
10
|
I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.” |
|
11
|
In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!” |
|
12
|
How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me? |
|
13
|
I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD. |
|
14
|
I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people. |
|
15
|
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints. |
|
16
|
Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds. |
|
17
|
I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD. |
|
18
|
I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people, |
|
19
|
in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah! |
