¹ I have loved, because YHWH hears My voice, my supplication,² Because He has inclined His ear to me, || And during my days I call.³ Cords of death have surrounded me, || And straits of Sheol have found me, || I find distress and sorrow.⁴ And in the Name of YHWH I call: Ah, now, O YHWH, deliver my soul,⁵ YHWH [is] gracious, and righteous, || Indeed, our God [is] merciful,⁶ YHWH [is] a preserver of the simple, || I was low, and He gives salvation to me.⁷ Return, O my soul, to your rest, || For YHWH has conferred benefits on you.⁸ For You have delivered my soul from death, || My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.⁹ I habitually walk before YHWH || In the lands of the living.

¹⁰ I have believed, for I speak, || I have been greatly afflicted.¹¹ I said in my haste, "Every man [is] a liar."¹² What do I return to YHWH? All His benefits [are] on me.¹³ I lift up the cup of salvation, || And in the Name of YHWH I call.¹⁴ Let me complete my vows to YHWH, || Now, before all His people.¹⁵ Precious in the eyes of YHWH [is] the death of His saints.¹⁶ Ah, now, O YHWH, for I [am] Your servant; I [am] Your servant, son of Your handmaid; You have opened my bonds.¹⁷ I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks to You, || And in the Name of YHWH I call.¹⁸ Let me complete my vows to YHWH, || Now, before all His people,¹⁹ In the courts of the house of YHWH, || In your midst, O Jerusalem, praise YAH!
