1 I Loved, for Jehovah will hear the voice of 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 For he inclined his ear to me, and in my days I will 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 The pains of death surrounded me, and the distresses of hades found me: shall find straits and affliction. 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 upon the name of Jehovah will I call; now, O Jehovah, 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!”
5 Jehovah is merciful and just, and our God compassionates. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; our God is merciful. The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
6 Jehovah watching the simple: I was brought low, and he will save for me. The LORD preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me. The LORD protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me.
7 Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest; for Jehovah benefited to thee. 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 thou deliveredst my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from a fall. 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 will go about before Jehovah 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 believed, for I will speak: I was greatly humbled. 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 alarm, Every man a lie. I said in my alarm, “All mankind are liars.” in my alarm I said, “Everyone is a liar.”
12 What shall I turn back to Jehovah for all his benefits to 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 will lift up the cup of salvation, and upon the name of Jehovah will 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 I will repay my vows to Jehovah before now to 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 Jehovah the death to his godly ones. 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 Now, O Jehovah, for I am thy servant; I thy servant, the son of thy maid-servant: thou didst loose to 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 To thee will I sacrifice a sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of Jehovah. 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 My vows to Jehovah I will repay before now to 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 enclosures to the house of Jehovah, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jah. 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.
