| 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 on me. I found trouble and sorrow.
| |
| 4 | Then called I on the name of Yahweh: "Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul."
| |
| 5 | Gracious is Yahweh, 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 men 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 the name of Yahweh.
| |
| 14 | I will pay my vows to Yahweh, Yes, in the presence of all his people.
| |
| 15 | Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of his saints.
| |
| 16 | Yahweh, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains.
| |
| 17 | I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call on the name of Yahweh.
| |
| 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 midst of you, Jerusalem. Praise Yah! Psalm 117
