1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2 Because he hath inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3 The sorrows of death encompassed me, and the pains of hell came upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yes, our God is merciful.
6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7 Return to thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12 What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits towards me?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
