Biblical Studies Press, 2005) [[#Verse 01.]]I love the Lord because he heard my plea for mercy, [[#Verse 02.]] and listened to me. As long as I live, I will call to him when I need help. [[#Verse 03.]] The ropes of death tightened around me, the snares of Sheol confronted me. I was confronted with trouble and sorrow. [[#Verse 04.]] I called on the name of the Lord, “Please, Lord, rescue my life!” [[#Verse 05.]] The Lord is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate. [[#Verse 06.]] The Lord protects the untrained; I was in serious trouble and he delivered me. [[#Verse 07.]] Rest once more, my soul, for the Lord has vindicated you. [[#Verse 08.]] Yes, Lord, you rescued my life from death, kept my eyes from tears and my feet from stumbling. [[#Verse 09.]] I will serve the Lord in the land of the living. [[#Verse 10.]] I had faith when I said, “I am severely oppressed.” [[#Verse 11.]] I rashly declared, “All men are liars.” [[#Verse 12.]] How can I repay the Lord for all his acts of kindness to me? [[#Verse 13.]] I will celebrate my deliverance, and call on the name of the Lord. [[#Verse 14.]] I will fulfill my vows to the Lord before all his people. [[#Verse 15.]] The Lord values the lives of his faithful followers. [[#Verse 16.]] Yes, Lord! I am indeed your servant; I am your servant, the son of your female servant. You saved me from death. [[#Verse 17.]] I will present a thank offering to you, and call on the name of the Lord. [[#Verse 18.]] I will fulfill my vows to the Lord before all his people, [[#Verse 19.]] in the courts of the Lord’s temple, in your midst, O Jerusalem.
