1 I love the Lord because he hears my voice, my pleas for mercy.
2 I will call on him as long as I live
3 The ropes of death became tangled around me.
4 But I kept calling on the name of the Lord:
5 The Lord is merciful and righteous.
6 The Lord protects defenseless people.
7 Be at peace again, my soul,
8 You saved me from death.
9 I will walk in the Lord’s presence in this world of the living.
10 I kept my faith even when I said,
11 I also said when I was panic-stricken,
12 How can I repay the Lord
13 I will take the cup of salvation
14 I will keep my vows to the Lord
15 Precious in the sight of the Lord
16 O Lord, I am indeed your servant.
17 I will bring a song of thanksgiving to you as a sacrifice.
18 I will keep my vows to the Lord
19 in the courtyards of the Lord’s house,
