Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!
I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy.Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
Blessed be the Lord, for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me when I was in a besieged city.I had said in my alarm,“ I am cut off from your sight.” But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy when I cried to you for help.
For the Lord hears the needy and does not despise his own people who are prisoners.Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves in them.
But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me!
