¹I loved that Yahweh hears my voice, my pleas.

²For he has inclined his ear to me, and in my days I will call out.

³The cords of death surrounded me, and the straits of Sheol found me; I found trouble and sorrow.

⁴And I called on the name of Yahweh: "I beg you, Yahweh, deliver my being."

⁵Gracious is Yahweh and righteous, and our God shows compassion.

⁶Yahweh guards the simple; I was brought low, and he saved me.

⁷Return, my living being, to your resting places, for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.

⁸For you rescued my being from death, my eye from tears, my foot from stumbling.

⁹I will walk about before Yahweh in the lands of the living.

¹⁰I believed when I spoke; I myself was afflicted exceedingly.

¹¹I said in my panic, every human being is a liar.

¹²What can I give back to Yahweh for all his benefits to me?

¹³I will lift up the cup of deliverances and call on the name of Yahweh.

¹⁴Now I will pay my vows to Yahweh, in front of all his people.

¹⁵Precious in the eyes of Yahweh is the death of his faithful ones.

¹⁶I beg you, Yahweh, for I am your slave; I am your slave, the son of your maidservant. You have loosened my fetters.

¹⁷To you I will sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and I will call on the name of Yahweh.

¹⁸Now I will pay my vows to Yahweh, in front of all his people,

¹⁹in the courts of the house of Yahweh, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise Yahweh.
