1. I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my supplications.
2. Because he has inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3. The sorrows of death surrounded me, and the pangs of sheol got hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
4. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech you, 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 helped me.
7. Return unto 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 have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
11. I said in my haste, All men are liars.
