[1] I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice,
and my cries for mercy.
[2] Because he has turned his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
[3] The cords of death surrounded me,
the pains of Sheolⓘ got a hold of me.
I found trouble and sorrow.
[4] Then I called on Yahweh’s name:
“Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul.”
[5] Yahweh is gracious and righteous.
Yes, our God is merciful.
[6] Yahweh preserves the simple.
I was brought low, and he saved me.
[7] Return to your rest, my soul,
for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.
[8] For you have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
and my feet from falling.
[9] I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living.
[10] I believed, therefore I said,
“I was greatly afflicted.”
[11] I said in my haste,
“All people are liars.”
[12] What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me?
[13] I will take the cup of salvation, and call on Yahweh’s name.
[14] I will pay my vows to Yahweh,
yes, in the presence of all his people.
[15] Precious in Yahweh’s sight is the death of his saints.
[16] Yahweh, truly I am your servant.
I am your servant, the son of your servant girl.
You have freed me from my chains.
[17] I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and will call on Yahweh’s name.
[18] I will pay my vows to Yahweh,
yes, in the presence of all his people,
[19] in the courts of Yahweh’s house,
in the middle of you, Jerusalem.
Praise Yah!
