4. Then I called on the name of Yahweh: “O Yahweh, please save my life!”
5. Gracious is Yahweh and righteous, and our God is merciful.
6. Yahweh watches over the simple. I was brought low, but he gave me victory.
7. Return, O my soul, to your repose, for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.
8. For you have rescued me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9. I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living.
10. I believed when I spoke, “I am afflicted greatly.”
11. I said in my haste, “Everyone is a liar.”
12. What shall I give back to Yahweh for all his benefits to me?
13. I will lift up the cup of salvation and proclaim the name of Yahweh.
14. I will pay my vows made to Yahweh in the presence of all his people.
15. Costly in Yahweh’s view is the death of his faithful ones.
