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

2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore I will call upon Him as long as Iive.

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

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

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

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

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

8 For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

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

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

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

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

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

14 I will pay my vows to the LORD now 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 maid servant; You have loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer to You the sacrifice of thankgivning, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

18 I will pay my vows to the LORD now 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! PSALM 116
