[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!
