The Book of Psalms

I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,

Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.

Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find.

And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,

Gracious [is] Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God [is] merciful,

A preserver of the simple [is] Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.

Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.

For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.

I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.

I have believed, for I speak, I -- I have been afflicted greatly.

I said in my haste, 'Every man [is] a liar.'

What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon me.

The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people.

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

Cause [it] to come, O Jehovah, for I [am] Thy servant. I [am] Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.

To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,

In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!
