1I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. (Ps 18:1; Ps 66:19; Ps 118:21)2Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live. (Ps 31:2)3The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish. (Ps 18:4)4Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, I pray, deliver my soul!” (Ps 18:6; Ps 118:5)5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; our God is merciful.

(Ps 19:7; Ps 79:8; Ps 142:6)7Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. (Ps 13:6; Jer 6:16; Mt 11:28)8For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling; (Ps 49:15; Ps 56:13; Ps 86:13)9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. (Ps 27:13)10I believed, even when[1] I spoke: “I am greatly afflicted”; (Ps 39:3; 2Co 4:13)11I said in my alarm, “All mankind are liars.” (Ps 31:22; Ps 62:9)12What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits to me? (2Ch 32:25)13I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD, (Ps 16:5; Ps 99:6; Ps 105:1)14I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people. (Ps 50:14)15Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. (Ps 50:5; Ps 72:14)16O LORD, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds.

(Ps 13:1; Ps 50:14)18I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people, (Ps 14:1)19in the courts of the house of the LORD, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD! (Ps 92:13; Ps 104:35)
