1 I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications;

1 אָ֭הַבְתִּי כִּֽי־יִשְׁמַ֥ע׀ יְהוָ֑ה אֶת־קֹ֝ולִ֗י תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃

2 For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during [all] my days.

2 כִּֽי־הִטָּ֣ה אָזְנֹ֣ו לִ֑י וּבְיָמַ֥י אֶקְרָֽא׃

3 The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow:

3 אֲפָפ֤וּנִי׀ חֶבְלֵי־מָ֗וֶת וּמְצָרֵ֣י שְׁאֹ֣ול מְצָא֑וּנִי צָרָ֖ה וְיָגֹ֣ון אֶמְצָֽא׃

4 Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul.

4 וּבְשֵֽׁם־יְהוָ֥ה אֶקְרָ֑א אָנָּ֥ה יְ֝הוָ֗ה מַלְּטָ֥ה נַפְשִֽׁי׃

5 Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful.

5 חַנּ֣וּן יְהֹוָ֣ה וְצַדִּ֑יק וֵ֖אלֹהֵ֣ינוּ מְרַחֵֽם׃

6 Jehovah keepeth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.

6 שֹׁמֵ֣ר פְּתָאיִ֣ם יְהֹוָ֑ה דַּ֝לֹּותִ֗י וְלִ֣י יְהֹושִֽׁיעַ׃

7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.

7 שׁוּבִ֣י נַ֭פְשִׁי לִמְנוּחָ֑יְכִי כִּֽי־יְ֝הוָ֗ה גָּמַ֥ל עָלָֽיְכִי׃

8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

8 כִּ֤י חִלַּ֥צְתָּ נַפְשִׁ֗י מִ֫מָּ֥וֶת אֶת־עֵינִ֥י מִן־דִּמְעָ֑ה אֶת־רַגְלִ֥י מִדֶּֽחִי׃

9 I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.

9 אֶ֭תְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה בְּ֝אַרְצֹ֗ות הַֽחַיִּֽים׃

10 I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted.

10 הֶ֭אֱמַנְתִּי כִּ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר אֲ֝נִ֗י עָנִ֥יתִי מְאֹֽד׃

11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.

11 אֲ֭נִי אָמַ֣רְתִּי בְחָפְזִ֑י כָּֽל־הָאָדָ֥ם כֹּזֵֽב׃

12 What shall I render unto Jehovah, [for] all his benefits toward me?

12 מָֽה־אָשִׁ֥יב לַיהוָ֑ה כָּֽל־תַּגְמוּלֹ֥והִי עָלָֽי׃

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah.

13 כֹּוס־יְשׁוּעֹ֥ות אֶשָּׂ֑א וּבְשֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָֽא׃

14 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people.

14 נְ֭דָרַי לַיהוָ֣ה אֲשַׁלֵּ֑ם נֶגְדָה־נָּ֝֗א לְכָל־עַמֹּֽו׃

15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.

15 יָ֭קָר בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה הַ֝מָּ֗וְתָה לַחֲסִידָֽיו׃

16 Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

16 אָֽנָּ֣ה יְהוָה֮ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֪י עַ֫בְדֶּ֥ךָ אֲ‍ֽנִי־עַ֭בְדְּךָ בֶּן־אֲמָתֶ֑ךָ פִּ֝תַּ֗חְתָּ לְמֹוסֵרָֽי׃

17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.

17 לְֽךָ־אֶ֭זְבַּח זֶ֣בַח תֹּודָ֑ה וּבְשֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָֽא׃

18 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people,

18 נְ֭דָרַי לַיהוָ֣ה אֲשַׁלֵּ֑ם נֶגְדָה־נָּ֝֗א לְכָל־עַמֹּֽו׃

19 In the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!

19 בְּחַצְרֹ֤ות׀ בֵּ֤ית יְהוָ֗ה בְּֽתֹ֘וכֵ֤כִי יְֽרוּשָׁלִָ֗ם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
