- 1
- I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications;
- 2
- For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during [all] my days.
- 3
- The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me;
I found trouble and sorrow:
- 4
- Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul.
- 5
- Gracious is Jehovah and righteous;
and our God is merciful.
- 6
- Jehovah keepeth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.
- 7
- Return unto thy rest, O my soul;
for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.
- 8
- For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
- 9
- I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.
- 10
- I believed, therefore have I spoken.
As for me, I was greatly afflicted.
- 11
- I said in my haste, All men are liars.
- 12
- What shall I render unto Jehovah, [for] all his benefits toward me?
- 13
- I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah.
- 14
- I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people.
- 15
- Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.
- 16
- Yea, Jehovah!
for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
- 17
- I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.
- 18
- I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people,
- 19
- In the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!
