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