- 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!
