| 1 Alleluia! I am pleased that the Lord has heard my voice in supplication, | |
| 2 that he has not been deaf to me, the day I called on him. | |
| 3 When the cords of death entangled me, the snares of the grave laid hold of me, when affliction got the better of me, | |
| 4 I called upon the name of the Lord: “O Lord, save my life!” | |
| 5 Gracious and righteous is the Lord; full of compassion is our God. | |
| 6 the Lord protects the simple: he saved me when I was humbled. | |
| 7 Return, O my soul, to your rest, for the Lord has taken care of you. | |
| 8 He has freed my soul from death, my eyes from weeping, my feet from stumbling; | |
| 9 I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. | |
| 10 I have kept faith even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted.” | |
| 11 I have said in my dismay, “To hope in humans is vain.” | |
| 12 How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me? | |
| 13 I will lift up 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 It is painful to the Lord to see the death of his faithful. | |
| 16 O Lord, I am your servant, truly your servant, your handmaid’s son. You have freed me from my bonds. | |
| 17 I will offer you a thanksgiving sacrifice; I will call on the name of the Lord. | |
| 18 I will carry out my vows to the Lord in the presence of his people, | |
| 19 in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem. | |
