1I love the LORD because he hears my voiceand my prayer for mercy.
2 Because he bends down to listen,I will pray as long as I have breath!
3 Death wrapped its ropes around me;the terrors of the grave Hebrew of Sheol. overtook me.I saw only trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD:“Please, LORD, save me!”
5 How kind the LORD is! How good he is!So merciful, this God of ours!
6 The LORD protects those of childlike faith;I was facing death, and he saved me.
7 Let my soul be at rest again,for the LORD has been good to me.
8 He has saved me from death,my eyes from tears,my feet from stumbling.
9 And so I walk in the LORD’s presenceas I live here on earth!
10 I believed in you, so I said,“I am deeply troubled, LORD.”
11 In my anxiety I cried out to you,“These people are all liars!”
12 What can I offer the LORDfor all he has done for me?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvationand praise the LORD’s name for saving me.
14 I will keep my promises to the LORDin the presence of all his people.
15The LORD cares deeplywhen his loved ones die.
16 O LORD, I am your servant;yes, I am your servant, born into your household;you have freed me from my chains.
17 I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgivingand call on the name of the LORD.
18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORDin the presence of all his people—
19 in the house of the LORDin the heart of Jerusalem.Praise the LORD!
