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,
