I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice {and} my supplications.
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon {him} as long as I live. {as long...: Heb. in my days}
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. {gat...: Heb. found me}
Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
Gracious {is} the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God {is} merciful.
The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, {and} my feet from falling.
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
