1. I love Adonai, for He hears my voice, my cries.
2. Because He has turned His ear to me, I will call on Him all my days.
3. The ropes of death entangled me, and the torments of Sheol found me. I found trouble and sorrow.
4. Then I called upon the Name of Adonai: “Adonai, save my soul!”
5. Adonai is gracious and righteous— yes, our God is compassionate.
6. Adonai protects the simple-hearted. When I was brought low, He saved me.
7. Return to your rest, my soul, for Adonai has been good to you.
8. For You delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9. I will walk before Adonai in the lands of the living.
10. I trusted even when I said, “I am very afflicted”—
11. even when I said in my haste, “All men are liars.”
12. How can I repay Adonai for all His bounties to me?
13. I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call on the Name of Adonai.
14. I will fulfill my vows to Adonai in the presence of all His people.
