¹ I love Jehovah, because he heareth 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 cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. ⁴ Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. ⁵ Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful. ⁶ Jehovah preserveth 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, And my feet from falling. ⁹ I will walk before Jehovah In the land of the living. ¹⁰ I believe, for I will speak: 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 pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people. ¹⁵ Precious in the sight of Jehovah Is the death of his saints. ¹⁶ O Jehovah, truly 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 pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people, ¹⁹ In the courts of Jehovah's house, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.
