1 I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice,ᵃᵇ
2 Because he has turned his ear to me,
3 The cords of death surrounded me,
4 Then I called on the LORD’s name:
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous.
6 The LORD preserves the simple.
7 Return to your rest, my soul,
8 For you have delivered my soul from death,
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 I believed, therefore I said,
11 I said in my haste,
12 What will I give to the LORD for all his benefits towards me?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the LORD’s name.
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD,
15 Precious in the LORD’s sight is the death of his saints.
16 LORD, truly I am your servant.
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
18 I will pay my vows to the LORD,
19 in the courts of the LORD’s house,
