1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; 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 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 unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

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 now in the presence of all his people,

19 In the courts of the LORD’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

1 I have given my love to the Lord, because he has given ear to the voice of my cry and my prayer.

2 He has let my request come before him, and I will make my prayer to him all my days.

3 The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow.

4 Then I made my prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord, take my soul out of trouble.

5 The Lord is full of grace and righteousness; truly, he is a God of mercy.

6 The Lord keeps the simple; I was made low, and he was my saviour.

7 Come back to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has given you your reward.

8 You have taken my soul from the power of death, keeping my eyes from weeping, and my feet from falling.

9 I will go before the Lord in the land of the living.

10 I still had faith, though I said, I am in great trouble;

11 Though I said in my fear, All men are false.

12 What may I give to the Lord for all the good things which he has done for me?

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and give praise to the name of the Lord.

14 I will make the offering of my oath to the Lord, even before all his people.

15 Dear in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints.

16 O Lord, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of her who is your servant; by you have my cords been broken.

17 I will give an offering of praise to you, and make my prayer in the name of the Lord.

18 I will make the offerings of my oath, even before all his people;

19 In the Lord's house, even in Jerusalem. Praise be to the Lord.
