ISV(i)
1 God, My Deliverer I love the LORD because he has heard my prayer for mercy;
2 for he listens to me whenever I call.
3 The ropes of death were wound around me and the anguish of Sheol came upon me; I encountered distress and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD, “LORD, please deliver me!”
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate;
6 the LORD watches over the innocent; I was brought low, and he delivered me.
7 Return to your resting place, my soul, for the LORD treated you generously.
8 Indeed, you delivered my soul from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling.
9 I will walk in the LORD’s presence in the lands of the living.
10 I will continue to believe, even when I say, “I am greatly afflicted”
11 and speak hastily, “All people are liars!”
12 What will I return to the LORD for all his benefits to me?
13 I will raise my cup of deliverance and invoke the LORD’s name.
14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
15 In the sight of the LORD, the death of his faithful ones is valued.
16 LORD, I am indeed your servant. I am your servant. I am the son of your handmaid. You have released my bonds.
17 I will bring you a thanksgiving offering and call on the name of the LORD!
18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
117 1A Call to Praise the LORD Praise the LORD, all you nations! Exalt him, all you peoples!
2 For great is his gracious love toward us, and the LORD’s faithfulness is eternal. Hallelujah!
118 1Thanksgiving to God Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his gracious love is eternal.
2 Let Israel now say, “His gracious love is eternal.”
3 Let the house of Aaron now say, “His gracious love is eternal.”
4 Let those who fear the LORD now say, “His gracious love is eternal.”
5 I called on the LORD in my distress; the LORD answered me openly.
6 The LORD is with me. I will not be afraid. What can people do to me?
7 With the LORD beside me as my helper, I will triumph over those who hate me.
8 It is better to take shelter in the LORD than to trust in people.
9 It is better to take shelter in the LORD than to trust in princes.
10 All the nations surrounded me; but in the name of the LORD I will defeat them.
11 They surrounded me, they are around me; but in the name of the LORD I will defeat them.
12 They surrounded me like bees; but they will be extinguished like burning thorns. In the name of the LORD I will defeat them.
13 Indeed, you oppressed me so much that I nearly fell, but the LORD helped me.
14 The LORD is my strength and protector, for he has become my deliverer.
15 There’s exultation for deliverance in the tents of the righteous: “The right hand of the LORD is victorious!
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted! The right hand of the LORD is victorious!”
17 I will not die, but I will live to recount the deeds of the LORD.
18 The LORD will discipline me severely, but he won’t hand me over to die.
19 Open for me the righteous gates so I may enter through them to give thanks to the LORD.
20 This is the LORD’s gate— The righteous will enter through it.
21 I will praise you because you have answered me and have become my deliverer.
22 The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
23 This is from the LORD— it is awesome in our sight.
24 This is the day that the LORD has made; let’s rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Please LORD, deliver us! Please LORD, hurry and bring success now!
26 Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD! Let us bless you from the LORD’s house.
27 The LORD is God—he will be our light! Bind the festival sacrifice with ropes to the horn at the altar.
28 You are my God, and I will praise you; my God, and I will exalt you.
29 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good and his gracious love is eternal.

Living in the Law of God How blessed are those whose life is blameless, who walk in the Law of the LORD!
2 How blessed are those who observe his decrees, who seek him with all of their heart,
3 who practice no evil while they walk in his ways.
4 You have commanded concerning your precepts, that they be guarded with diligence.
5 Oh, that my ways were steadfast, so I may keep your statutes.
