¹ Iⓐ love the LORD, because he hasⓑ heard my voice and my pleas for mercy.

² Because heⓒ inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

³ ⓓ The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish.

⁴ Thenⓔ I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, I pray, deliver my soul!”

⁵ ⓕ Gracious is the LORD, andⓖ righteous; our God isⓗ merciful.

⁶ The LORD preservesⓘ the simple; whenⓙ I was brought low, he saved me.

⁷ Return, O my soul, to yourⓚ rest; for the LORD hasⓛ dealt bountifully with you.

⁸ Forⓜ you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling;

⁹ I will walk before the LORD ⓝin the land of the living.

¹⁰ ⓞ I believed,ⓟ even when[1] I spoke: “I am greatly afflicted”;

¹¹ ⓠ I said in my alarm, ⓡ“All mankind are liars.”

¹² What shall Iⓢ render to the LORD for all his benefits to me?

¹³ I will lift upⓣ the cup of salvation andⓤ call on the name of the LORD,

¹⁴ I willⓥ pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.

¹⁵ ⓦ Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of hisⓧ saints.

¹⁶ O LORD, I am yourⓨ servant; I am your servant,ⓩ the son of your maidservant. You haveⓐ loosed my bonds.

¹⁸ I willⓓ pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,

¹⁹ inⓔ the courts of the house of the LORD, in your midst, O Jerusalem. ⓕPraise the LORD!
