1. I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,
2. Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.
3. Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find.
4. And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,
5. Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God is merciful,
6. A preserver of the simple is Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.
7. Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.
8. For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.
9. I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.
10. I have believed, for I speak, I--I have been afflicted greatly.
11. I said in my haste, `Every man is a liar.'
12. What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits are upon me.
13. The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.
14. My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people.
15. Precious in the eyes of Jehovah is the death for His saints.
16. Cause it to come, O Jehovah, for I am Thy servant. I am Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.
17. To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.
18. My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,
19. In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!
