1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
1 I love H157 the LORD, H3068 because he hath heard H8085 my voice H6963 and my supplications. H8469
1 I love Jehovah, because he heareth My voice and my supplications.
1 I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,
1 I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications;
1 I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, And my cries for mercy.
1 I have given my love to the Lord, because he has given ear to the voice of my cry and my prayer.
But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.
I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
