• 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!
