¹ I LOVE the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my supplications. ² Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live. ³ The cords and sorrows of death were around me, and the terrors of Sheol (the place of the dead) had laid hold of me; I suffered anguish and grief (trouble and sorrow). ⁴ Then called I upon the name of the Lord: O Lord, I beseech You, save my life and deliver me! ⁵ Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yes, our God is merciful. ⁶ The Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He helped and saved me. ⁷ Return to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. ⁸ For You have delivered my life from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling and falling. ⁹ I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. ¹⁰ I believed (trusted in, relied on, and clung to my God), and therefore have I spoken , I am greatly afflicted. ¹¹ I said in my haste, All men are deceitful and liars. ¹² What shall I render to the Lord for all His benefits toward me? ¹³ I will lift up the cup of salvation and deliverance and call on the name of the Lord. ¹⁴ I will pay my vows to the Lord, yes, in the presence of all His people. ¹⁵ Precious (important and no light matter) in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints (His loving ones). ¹⁶ O Lord, truly I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid; You have loosed my bonds. ¹⁷ I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving and will call on the name of the Lord. ¹⁸ I will pay my vows to the Lord, yes, in the presence of all His people, ¹⁹ In the courts of the Lord's house--in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
