1 I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice,

and my cries for mercy.

2 Because he has turned his ear to me,

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

3 The cords of death surrounded me,

the pains of Sheol got a hold of me.

I found trouble and sorrow.

4 Then I called on Yahweh’s name:

"Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul."

5 Yahweh is gracious 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, 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 believed, therefore I said,

"I was greatly afflicted."

11 I said in my haste,

"All people are liars."

12 What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me?

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call on Yahweh’s name.

14 I will pay my vows to Yahweh,

yes, in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in Yahweh’s sight is the death of his saints.

16 Yahweh, truly I am your servant.

I am your servant, the son of your servant girl.

You have freed me from my chains.

17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

and will call on Yahweh’s name.

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 middle of you, Jerusalem.

Praise Yah!

1 I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice [and] my supplications.2 Because he has inclined his ear unto me, therefore I will call upon [him] all of my days.3 The sorrows of death compassed me and the pains of Sheol found me; I encountered trouble and sorrow.4 Then I called upon the name of the LORD, [saying], O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.5 Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; [yea], our God [is] merciful.6 The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and he saved me.7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul, for the LORD has 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 the LORD in the land of the living.10 I believed, therefore I spoke, and was greatly afflicted;11 I said in my haste, All men [are] liars.12 What shall I render unto the LORD [for] all his benefits toward me?13 I will take the cup of saving health and invoke the name of the LORD.14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.15 Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his merciful ones.16 [This is] so, O LORD, because I [am] thy servant; I [am] thy servant, the son of thine handmaid; thou hast loosed my bonds.17 I will offer unto thee the sacrifice of praise and will invoke the name of the LORD.18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,19 in the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
