He Listens to My Voice

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

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

3The sorrows of death encompassed me, and the pains of hell came upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

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

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

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

7Return to thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

8For thou hast delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

10I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

11I said in my haste, All men are liars.

12What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits towards me?

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

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

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

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

17I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

18I will pay my vows to the LORD now in the presence of all his people,

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