I 'ahav ·affectionately love· Adonai, because he sh'ma ·hears obeys· my voice, and my cries for mercy.

Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

٣ 3 ٱكْتَنَفَتْنِي حِبَالُ ٱلْمَوْتِ. أَصَابَتْنِي شَدَائِدُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. كَابَدْتُ ضِيقًا وَحُزْنًا. (Sheol h7585)

The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol ·Place of the dead· got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

Adonai is gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is racham ·merciful love·.

Teshuvah ·Completely return· to your rest, my soul, for Adonai has dealt bountifully with you.

٨ 8 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْقَذْتَ نَفْسِي مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَعَيْنِي مِنَ ٱلدَّمْعَةِ، وَرِجْلَيَّ مِنَ ٱلزَّلَقِ.

For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
