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!
