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.
15 Precious in the sight of Adonai is the death of His kedoshim.
16 O Adonai! Surely I am Your servant. I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant. You have freed me from my bonds.
17 To You I will offer a sacrifice of praise, and will call on the Name of Adonai.
18 I will fulfill my vows to Adonai in the presence of all His people,
19 in the courts of the House of Adonai, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Halleluyah!
