1
I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.

Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.

Return to your rest, my soul, for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.

For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living.

Yahweh, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains.

I will pay my vows to Yahweh, yes, in the presence of all his people,

in the courts of Yahweh's house, in the midst of you, Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
