Hebrew Bible

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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