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!
