1I loveH157 Jehovah, because he heareth My voiceH6963 and my supplicationsH8469.2Because he hath inclinedH5186 his earH241 unto me, Therefore will I callH7121upon himas long as I live.3The cordsH2256 of deathH4194 compassed me, And the painsH2256 of SheolH7585 gat hold upon me: I foundH4672 troubleH6869 and sorrowH3015.4Then calledH7121 I upon the nameH8034 of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliverH4422 my soulH5315.5GraciousH2587 is Jehovah, and righteousH6662; Yea, our GodH430 is merciful.6Jehovah preserveth the simple: I was brought lowH1809, and he savedH3467 me.7ReturnH7725 unto thy restH4496, O my soulH5315; For Jehovah hath dealtH1580 bountifullyH1580 with thee.8For thou hast delivered my soulH5315 from deathH4194, Mine eyesH5869 from tearsH1832, Andmy feetH7272 from falling.9I will walkH1980 before Jehovah In the landH776 of the living.10I believeH539, for I will speakH1696: I was greatly afflicted:11I saidH559 in my haste, All menH120 are liarsH3576.12What shall I render unto Jehovah For all his benefits toward me?13I will takeH5375 the cupH3563 of salvationH3444, And callH7121 upon the nameH8034 of Jehovah.14I will payH7999 my vowsH5088 unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his peopleH5971.15PreciousH3368 in the sight of Jehovah Is the deathH4194 of his saints.16O Jehovah, truly I am thy servantH5650: I am thy servantH5650, the sonH1121 of thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bonds.17I will offerH2076 to thee the sacrificeH2077 of thanksgivingH8426, And will callH7121 upon the nameH8034 of Jehovah.18I will payH7999 my vowsH5088 unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his peopleH5971,19In the courts of Jehovah’s houseH1004, In the midstH8432 of thee, O JerusalemH3389.
