1. I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2. Because he hath inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3. The sorrows of death encompassed me, and the pains of hell came upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
4. Then I called upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yes, our God is merciful.
6. The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7. Return to thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8. For thou hast 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.
