1: I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication, 2: Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call. 3: Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find. 4: And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul, 5: Gracious [is] Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God [is] merciful, 6: A preserver of the simple [is] Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation. 7: Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee. 8: For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing. 9: I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living. 10: I have believed, for I speak, I -- I have been afflicted greatly. 11: I said in my haste, 'Every man [is] a liar.' 12: What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon me. 13: The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call. 14: My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people. 15: Precious in the eyes of Jehovah [is] the death for His saints. 16: Cause [it] to come, O Jehovah, for I [am] Thy servant. I [am] Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds. 17: To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call. 18: My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people, 19: In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!
