[1] I love Yahweh, because He hears My voice and my supplications. [2] Because He has inclined His ear to me, So I shall call upon Him in all my days. [3] The cords of death encompassed me And the distresses of Sheol found me; I found distress and sorrow. [4] Then I called upon the name of Yahweh: “O Yahweh, I beseech You, provide my soul escape!” [5] Gracious is Yahweh, and righteous; And our God is compassionate. [6] Yahweh keeps the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. [7] Return to your rest, O my soul, For Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you. [8] For You have rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, My feet from stumbling. [9] I shall walk before Yahweh In the land of the living. [10] I believed when I said, “I am greatly afflicted.” [11] I said in my alarm, “All men are liars.” [12] What shall I give to Yahweh in return For all His bountiful dealings with me? [13] I shall lift up the cup of salvation And call upon the name of Yahweh. [14] I shall pay my vows to Yahweh, Oh may it be in the presence of all His people. [15] Precious in the sight of Yahweh Is the death of His holy ones. [16] O Yahweh, surely I am Your slave, I am Your slave, the son of Your maidservant, You have loosed my bonds. [17] To You I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving, And call upon the name of Yahweh. [18] I shall pay my vows to Yahweh, Oh may it be in the presence of all His people, [19] In the courts of the house of Yahweh, In the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
