The LORD Has Heard My Voice

my appeal for mercy.
2. Because He has inclined His ear to me,
I will call on Him as long as I live.

I was confronted by trouble and sorrow.
4. Then I called on the name of the LORD:
“O LORD, deliver my soul!”
5. The LORD is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.
6. The LORD preserves the simplehearted;
I was helpless, and He saved me.

for the LORD has been good to 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, therefore I said,
“I am greatly afflicted.”
11. In my alarm I said,
“All men are liars!”
12. How can I repay the LORD
for all His goodness to me?
13. I will lift the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the LORD.
14. I will fulfill 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. Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant;
I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant;
You have broken my bonds.

and call on the name of the LORD.

in the presence of all His people,
19. in the courts of the LORD’s house,
in your midst, O Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!
