1I love Yehovah, because he hears My voice and my supplications.
2Because he has inclined his ear to me, Therefore I will call upon him as long as I live.
3The cords of death surrounded me, And the pains of Sheol laid hold on me: I found trouble and sorrow.
4Then I called upon the name of Yehovah: O Yehovah, I beseech you, deliver my soul.
5Gracious is Yehovah, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful.
6Yehovah preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.
7Return to your rest, O my soul; For Yehovah has dealt bountifully with you.
8For you have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.
9I will walk before Yehovah In the land of the living.
10I believe, for I will speak: I was greatly afflicted:
11I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12What shall I render to Yehovah For all his benefits toward me?
13I will take the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of Yehovah.
14I will pay my vows to Yehovah, Yes, in the presence of all his people.
15Precious in the sight of Yehovah Is the death of his saints.
16O Yehovah, truly I am your servant: I am your servant, the son of your handmaid; You have loosed my bonds.
17I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of Yehovah.
18I will pay my vows to Yehovah, Yes, in the presence of all his people,
19In the courts of Yehovah’s house, In the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise Yehovah.
