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! |
