6  Blessed be the Lord!

For he has ^uheard the voice of my pleas for mercy.

21  Blessed be the Lord,

for he has wondrously ^bshown his steadfast love to me

when I was in ^ca besieged city.

22  I had said in my ^dalarm,¹

“I am ^ecut off from ^fyour sight.”

But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy

when I cried to you for help.

19  But truly ^uGod has listened;

he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

20  Blessed be God,

because he has not rejected my prayer

or removed his steadfast love from me!

33  For the Lord hears the needy

and ^bdoes not despise his own people who are prisoners.

34  Let ^cheaven and earth praise him,

the seas and everything that moves in them.

19  ⁱThen they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

20  He ^jsent out his word and ^khealed them,

and ^ldelivered them from their destruction.

21  ^mLet them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

22  And let them ⁿoffer sacrifices of thanksgiving,

and ^otell of his deeds in ^psongs of joy!

1  I ^ylove the Lord, because he has ^zheard

my voice and my pleas for mercy.

2  Because he ^ainclined his ear to me,

therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

5  ^hOut of my distress I ⁱcalled on the Lord;

the Lord answered me and set me ^jfree.
