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.
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.
