1 I have loved, because YHWH hears My voice, my supplication, I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, || And during my days I call. Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
3 Cords of death have surrounded me, || And straits of Sheol have found me, || I find distress and sorrow. The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish. The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
4 And in the Name of YHWH I call: Ah, now, O YHWH, deliver my soul, Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, I pray, deliver my soul!” Then I called on the name of the LORD: “LORD, save me!”

7 Return, O my soul, to your rest, || For YHWH has conferred benefits on you. Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
8 For You have delivered my soul from death, || My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing. For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling; For you, LORD, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
9 I habitually walk before YHWH || In the lands of the living. I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 I have believed, for I speak, || I have been greatly afflicted. I believed, even when I spoke: “I am greatly afflicted”; I trusted in the LORD when I said, “I am greatly afflicted|;
11 I said in my haste, “Every man [is] a liar.” I said in my alarm, “All mankind are liars.” in my alarm I said, “Everyone is a liar.”
12 What do I return to YHWH? All His benefits [are] on me. What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits to me? What shall I return to the LORD for all his goodness to me?
13 I lift up the cup of salvation, || And in the Name of YHWH I call. I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD, I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
14 Let me complete my vows to YHWH, || Now, before all His people. I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people. I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the eyes of YHWH [is] the death of His saints. Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants.
16 Ah, now, O YHWH, for I [am] Your servant; I [am] Your servant, son of Your handmaid; You have opened my bonds. O LORD, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds. Truly I am your servant, LORD; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains.
17 I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks to You, || And in the Name of YHWH I call. I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD. I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD.
18 Let me complete my vows to YHWH, || Now, before all His people, I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people, I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,
19 In the courts of the house of YHWH, || In your midst, O Jerusalem, praise YAH! in the courts of the house of the LORD, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD! in the courts of the house of the LORD— in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.
