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!
