| | 1 | I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. | |
| | 2 | Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. | |
| | 3 | The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me; I was overcome by trouble and sorrow. | |
| | 4 | Then I called on the name of the LORD: "O LORD, save me!" | |
| | 5 | The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. | |
| | 6 | The LORD protects the simplehearted; when I was in great need, he saved me. | |
| | 7 | Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. | |
| | 8 | For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling, | |
| | 9 | that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living. | |
| | 10 | I believed; therefore I said, "I am greatly afflicted." | |
| | 11 | And in my dismay I said, "All men are liars." | |
| | 12 | How can I repay the LORD for all his goodness to me? | |
| | 13 | I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD. | |
| | 14 | I will fulfill my vows to the LORD 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 your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant; you have freed me from my chains. | |
| | 17 | 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, | |
| | 19 | in the courts of the house of the LORD--in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD. | |
