1. I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my supplications.
2. Because he has inclined his ear unto me, therefore I will call upon him all of my days.
3. The sorrows of death compassed me and the pains of Sheol found me; I encountered trouble and sorrow.
4. Then I called upon the name of the Lord, saying, O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5. Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6. The Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low, and he saved me.
7. Return unto thy rest, O my soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with thee.
8. For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
