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