MLV(i)
1 I love Jehovah because he hears my voice and my supplications.
2 Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call as long as I live.
3 The cords of death encompassed me and the pains of Sheol found me. I found trouble and sorrow. 4 Then I called upon the name of Jehovah. O Jehovah, I beseech you, deliver my soul.
5 Gracious is Jehovah and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful. 6 Jehovah preserves the simple. I was brought low and he saved me.
7 Return to your rest, O my soul, because Jehovah has dealt bountifully with you. 8 Because you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
9 I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.
10 I believed, because I have spoken, but I was greatly afflicted. 11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12 What shall I render to Jehovah for all his benefits toward me? 13 I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of Jehovah. 14 I will pay my vows to Jehovah, yes, in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his holy ones. 16 O Jehovah, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and will call upon the name of Jehovah. 18 I will pay my vows to Jehovah, yes, in the presence of all his people, 19 in the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
Praise Jehovah.
