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