He heard my cry for mercy.
2 Because He turned his ear to me,
I will call on Him as long as I live.
...
5 The Lord is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.
6 The Lord protects the unwary;
when I was brought low, He saved me.
...
12 What shall I return to the Lord
for all His goodness to me?
...
17 I will sacrifice a thank offering to You
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 house of the Lord--
in your midst, Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord.
