1. I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,
2. Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.
3. Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find.
4. And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,
5. Gracious [is] Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God [is] merciful,
6. A preserver of the simple [is] Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.
7. Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.
8. For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.
9. I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.
10. I have believed, for I speak, I--I have been afflicted greatly.
