Read the chapter

1I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. ✦ 2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. ✦ 3The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. ✦ 4Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. ✦ 5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. ✦ 6The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. ✦ 7Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. ✦ 8For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. ✦ 9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. ✦ 10I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: ✦ 11I said in my haste, All men are liars. ✦ 12What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? ✦ 13I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. ✦ 14I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. ✦ 15Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. ✦ 16O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. ✦ 17I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. ✦ 18I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people, ✦ 19In the courts of the LORD’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.
