1 I love the LORD because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
2 Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath! Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
3 Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow. The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish. The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: “Please, LORD, save me!” Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, I pray, deliver my soul!” Then I called on the name of the LORD: “LORD, save me!”
5 How kind the LORD is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours! Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; our God is merciful. The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
6 The LORD protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and he saved me. The LORD preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me. The LORD protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me.
7 Let my soul be at rest again, for the LORD has been good to me. Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
8 He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling; For you, LORD, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
9 And so I walk in the LORD’s presence as I live here on earth! I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 I believed in you, so I said, “I am deeply troubled, LORD.” I believed, even when I spoke: “I am greatly afflicted”; I trusted in the LORD when I said, “I am greatly afflicted|;
11 In my anxiety I cried out to you, “These people are all liars!” I said in my alarm, “All mankind are liars.” in my alarm I said, “Everyone is a liar.”
12 What can I offer the LORD for all he has done for me? What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits to me? What shall I return to the LORD for all his goodness to me?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the LORD’s name for saving me. I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD, I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
14 I will keep my promises to the LORD in the presence of all his people. I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people. I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
15 The LORD cares deeply when his loved ones die. Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants.
16 O LORD, I am your servant; yes, I am your servant, born into your household; you have freed me from my chains. O LORD, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds. Truly I am your servant, LORD; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains.
17 I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD. I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD. I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD.
18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people— I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people, I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,
19 in the house of the LORD in the heart of Jerusalem. Praise the LORD! in the courts of the house of the LORD, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD! in the courts of the house of the LORD— in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.
