The LORD Has Heard My Voice

1I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice — my appeal for mercy.+ 2Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live.+ 3The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow.+ 4Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, deliver my soul!”+ 5The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.+ 6The LORD preserves the simplehearted; I was helpless, and He saved me.+ 7Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.+ 8For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.+ 9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.+ 10I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”+ 11In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!”+ 12How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me?+ 13I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.+ 14I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people.+ 15Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.+ 16Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds.+ 17I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.+ 18I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people,+ 19in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!+
