1. I love the LORD for He hears my voice, my pleas;
2. for He turns His ear to me whenever I call.
3. The bonds of death encompassed me; the torments of Sheol overtook me. I came upon trouble and sorrow
4. and I invoked the name of the LORD, "O LORD, save my life!"
5. The LORD is gracious and beneficent; our God is compassionate.
6. The LORD protects the simple; I was brought low and He saved me.
7. Be at rest, once again, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
8. You have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9. I shall walk before the LORD in the lands of the living.
10. I trust [in the LORD]; out of great suffering I spoke
11. and said rashly, "All men are false."
12. How can I repay the LORD for all His bounties to me?
13. I raise the cup of deliverance and invoke the name of the LORD.
14. I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people.
15. The death of His faithful ones is grievous in the LORD's sight.
16. O LORD, I am Your servant, Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have undone the cords that bound me.
17. I will sacrifice a thank offering to You and invoke the name of the LORD.
18. I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people,
19. in the courts of the house of the LORD, in the midst of Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
