The Book of Psalms

I love Jehovah because He hears my voice, my prayers.

Because He has bowed His ear to me, I will also call in my days.

The cords of death hemmed me in; and the pains of Sheol found me; I find distress and sorrow;

then I call on the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech You, deliver my soul!

Jehovah [is] gracious and righteous; yea, our God [is] merciful.

Jehovah keeps the simple; I was low, but He saved me.

Return to your rest, O soul; for Jehovah has blessed you.

For You have delivered my soul from death, my eye from tears, my feet from stumbling.

I will walk before the face of Jehovah in the lands of the living.

I believed; so I speak; I was greatly afflicted;

I said in my alarm, All men [are] liars.

What shall I return to Jehovah [for] His benefits to me?

I will lift up the cup of salvation, and I will call on the name of Jehovah.

I will pay my vows to Jehovah now in the presence of all His people.

Precious in the eyes of Jehovah [is] the death of His saints.

O Jehovah, truly I [am] Your servant now; I [am] Your servant, the son of Your handmaid; You have loosed my bonds.

I will sacrifice to You the sacrifice of thanks and will call on the name of Jehovah.

I will pay my vows to Jehovah now in the presence of all His people,

in the courts of the house of Jehovah; in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise Jehovah!
