1 I love that the LORD should hear my voice and my supplications. VP

2 Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him all my days. VP

3 The cords of death compassed me, and the straits of the nether-world got hold upon me; I found trouble and sorrow. VP

4 But I called upon the name of the LORD: 'I beseech thee, O LORD, deliver my soul.' VP

5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is compassionate. VP

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

7 Return, O my soul, unto Thy rest; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. VP

8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling. VP

9 I shall walk before the LORD in the lands of the living. VP

10 I trusted even when I spoke: 'I am greatly afflicted.' VP

11 I said in my haste: 'All men are liars.' VP

12 How can I repay unto the LORD all His bountiful dealings toward me? VP

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

14 My vows will I pay unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all His people. VP

15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints. VP

16 I beseech Thee, O LORD, for I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bands. VP

17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. VP

18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all His people; VP

19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah. VP
