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 have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,

2 Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.

3 Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find.

4 And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,

5 Gracious [is] Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God [is] merciful,

6 A preserver of the simple [is] Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.

7 Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.

8 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.

9 I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.

10 I have believed, for I speak, I -- I have been afflicted greatly.

11 I said in my haste, `Every man [is] a liar.`

12 What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon me.

13 The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

14 My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people.

15 Precious in the eyes of Jehovah [is] the death for His saints.

16 Cause [it] to come, O Jehovah, for I [am] Thy servant. I [am] Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.

17 To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

18 My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,

19 In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!
