| 1 | I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy. |
| 2 | Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live. |
| 3 | The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow. |
| 4 | Then I called on the name of Yahweh: "Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul." |
| 5 | Yahweh is Gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful. |
| 6 | Yahweh preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me. |
| 7 | Return to your rest, my soul, for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you. |
| 8 | For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. |
| 9 | I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living. |
| 10 | I believed, therefore I said, "I was greatly afflicted." |
| 11 | I said in my haste, "All men are liars." |
| 12 | What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me? |
| 13 | I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of Yahweh. |
| 14 | I will pay my vows to Yahweh, yes, in the presence of all his people. |
| 15 | Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of his saints. |
| 16 | Yahweh, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains. |
| 17 | I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the name of Yahweh. |
| 18 | I will pay my vows to Yahweh, yes, in the presence of all his people, |
| 19 | in the courts of Yahweh's house, in the midst of you, Jerusalem. Praise Yah! Psalm 117 |
