1 ¶ I loveºª the LORD,º because² he hath heardºª² my voiceº [and] my supplications.º 2 Because² he hath inclinedºª his earº unto me, therefore will I call¹ª upon² [him] as long as I live.º 3 The sorrowsº of deathº compassedºª me, and the painsº of hellº gat hold¹ª upon² me: I foundºª troubleº and sorrow.º 4 Then calledºª I upon the nameº of the LORD;º O LORD,º I beseechº thee, deliverºª my soul.º 5 Graciousº [is] the LORD,º and righteous;º yea, our Godº [is] merciful.ºª 6 The LORDº preservethºª the simple:º I was brought low,ºª and he helpedºª me. 7 Returnºª unto thy rest,º O my soul;º for² the LORDº hath dealt bountifullyºª with² thee. 8 For² thou hast deliveredºª my soulº from death,º²² mine eyesº from² tears,º [and]² my feetº from falling.º² 9 I will walkºª beforeº the LORDº in the landº of the living.º 10 I believed,ºª therefore² have I² spoken:ºª I was greatlyº afflicted:ºª 11 I² saidºª in my haste,ºª All² menº [are] liars.ºª
