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 |
