1I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,

1I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications;

2Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.

2 For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during [all] my days.

3Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find.

3 The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow:

4And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,

4 Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul.

5Gracious <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God <FI>is<Fi> merciful,

5 Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and ourGod is merciful.

6A preserver of the simple <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.

6 Jehovah keepeth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.

7Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.

7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.

8For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.

8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

9I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.

9 I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.

10I have believed, for I speak, I--I have been afflicted greatly.

10 I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted.

11I said in my haste, `Every man <FI>is<Fi> a liar.'

11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.

12What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits <FI>are<Fi> upon me.

12 What shall I render unto Jehovah, [for] all his benefits toward me?

13The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah.

14My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people.

14 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people.

15Precious in the eyes of Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> the death for His saints.

15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.

16Cause <FI>it<Fi> to come, O Jehovah, for I <FI>am<Fi> Thy servant. I <FI>am<Fi> Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.

16 Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

17To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.

18My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,

18 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people,

19In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!

19 In the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
