1 I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice my supplications;

2 F or he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during my days.

3 T he bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow:

4 T hen called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul.

5 G racious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful.

6 J ehovah keepeth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.

7 R eturn unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.

8 F or 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 W hat shall I render unto Jehovah, 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 P recious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.

16 Y ea, 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 I n the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
