|---|---|
| 1 | I love that the LORD should hear my voice and my supplications. |
| 2 | Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, Therefore will I call upon Him all my days. |
| 3 | The cords of death compassed me, And the straits of the nether-world got hold upon me; I found trouble and sorrow. |
| 4 | But I called upon the name of the LORD: 'I beseech thee, O LORD, deliver my soul.' |
| 5 | Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yea, our God is compassionate. |
| 6 | The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. |
| 7 | Return, O my soul, unto Thy rest; For the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. |
| 8 | For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, And my feet from stumbling. |
| 9 | I shall walk before the LORD In the lands of the living. |
| 10 | I trusted even when I spoke: 'I am greatly afflicted.' |
| 11 | I said in my haste: 'All men are liars.' |
| 12 | How can I repay unto the LORD All His bountiful dealings toward me? |
| 13 | I will lift up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the LORD. |
| 14 | My vows will I pay 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 | I beseech Thee, O LORD, for I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bands. |
| 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. Hallelujah. |
