I love the Lord because he heard my plea for mercy,

The Lord values the lives of his faithful followers.

How can I repay the Lord for all his acts of kindness to me?

I had faith when I said, "I am severely oppressed."

The ropes of death tightened around me, the snares of Sheol confronted me. I was confronted with trouble and sorrow.

Rest once more, my soul, for the Lord has vindicated you.

The Lord is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate.

I will celebrate my deliverance, and call on the name of the Lord.

Yes, Lord! I am indeed your servant; I am your lowest slave. You saved me from death.

I will present a thank offering to you, and call on the name of the Lord.

Yes, Lord, you rescued my life from death, and kept my feet from stumbling.

The Lord protects the untrained; I was in serious trouble and he delivered me.

I called on the name of the Lord, "Please Lord, rescue my life!"

I rashly declared, "All men are liars."

and listened to me. As long as I live, I will call to him when I need help.

I will fulfill my vows to the Lord before all his people.

I will serve the Lord in the land of the living.

in the courts of the Lord's temple, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!

I will fulfill my vows to the Lord before all his people,
