✧1I love Jehovah, because he heareth My voice and my supplications. Copy✧2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call [upon him] as long as I live. Copy✧3The cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Copy✧4Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. Copy✧5Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful. Copy✧6Jehovah preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me. Copy✧7Return unto thy rest, O my soul; For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee. Copy✧8For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, [And] my feet from falling. Copy✧9I will walk before Jehovah In the land of the living.
