Psalm

I love the LORD, because He has heard My voice and my supplications.

Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

The pains of death surrounded me, And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow.

Then I called upon the name of the LORD: "O LORD, I implore You, deliver my soul!"

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

The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.

Return to your rest, O my soul, For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.

For You have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.

I will walk before the LORD In the land of the living.

I believed, therefore I spoke, "I am greatly afflicted."

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

What shall I render to the LORD For all His benefits toward me?

I will take up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the LORD.

I will pay my vows to the LORD Now in the presence of all His people.

Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His saints.

O LORD, truly I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have loosed my bonds.

I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the LORD.

I will pay my vows to the LORD Now in the presence of all His people,

In the courts of the LORD's house, In the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
