1 I love יהוה, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell got hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

4 Then called I upon the name of יהוה; O יהוה, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

5 Gracious is יהוה, and righteous; yea, our Elohim is merciful.

6 יהוה preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for יהוה hath 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 יהוה in the land of the living.

10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.

12 What shall I render unto יהוה for all his benefits toward me?

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of יהוה.

14 I will pay my vows unto יהוה now in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of יהוה is the death of his saints.

16 O יהוה, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of יהוה.

18 I will pay my vows unto יהוה now in the presence of all his people,

19 In the courts of יהוה 's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye יהוה.
