The Lord has heard my voice
1
I have loved, because YHWH hears My voice, my supplication,
2
Because He has inclined His ear to me, || And during my days I call.
3
Cords of death have surrounded me, || And straits of Sheol have found me, || I find distress and sorrow.
4
And in the Name of YHWH I call: Ah, now, O YHWH, deliver my soul,
5
YHWH [is] gracious, and righteous, || Indeed, our God [is] merciful,
6
YHWH [is] a preserver of the simple, || I was low, and He gives salvation to me.
7
Return, O my soul, to your rest, || For YHWH has conferred benefits on you.
8
For You have delivered my soul from death, || My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.
9
I habitually walk before YHWH || In the lands of the living.
10
I have believed, for I speak, || I have been greatly afflicted.
11
I said in my haste, “Every man [is] a liar.”
12
What do I return to YHWH? All His benefits [are] on me.
13
I lift up the cup of salvation, || And in the Name of YHWH I call.
14
Let me complete my vows to YHWH, || Now, before all His people.
15
Precious in the eyes of YHWH [is] the death of His saints.
16
Ah, now, O YHWH, for I [am] Your servant; I [am] Your servant, son of Your handmaid; You have opened my bonds.
17
I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks to You, || And in the Name of YHWH I call.
18
Let me complete my vows to YHWH, || Now, before all His people,
19
In the courts of the house of YHWH, || In your midst, O Jerusalem, praise YAH!
