Psalm 118 (I Will Call on the Name of the Lord)

I love the Lord, for He heard my cry;
He heard my cry for mercy.
He turned His ear to me, and I
Will call on Him as long as I live.

The chords of death entangled me;
I felt the anguish of the grave.
Distress and sorrow covered me;
Then I called on the One who saves.

I will lift up the cup of salvation,
And call on the name of the Lord.
In the midst of His congregation
I will fulfill my vows to the Lord.
I will fulfill my vows to the Lord.

You have saved me from death, o Lord;
Now the land of the living is my home.
What shall I return to the Lord
For the goodness He has shown?

I will lift up the cup of salvation,
And call on the name of the Lord.
In the midst of His congregation
I will fulfill my vows to the Lord.
I will fulfill my vows to the Lord.

The Lord is gracious;
The Lord is righteous;
He is full of compassion.
Therefore will I bring
A thankful offering,
And I will call on the name of the Lord.

I will lift up the cup of salvation,
And call on the name of the Lord.
In the midst of His congregation
I will fulfill my vows to the Lord.
I will fulfill my vows to the Lord.

I Will Call on the Name of the Lord.
I Will Call on the Name of the Lord.
