I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications;

The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow: (Sheol h7585)
4 To naah Angraeng ih ahmin to ka kawk; Aw Angraeng, ka hinghaih na pahlong ah, tiah ka hnik.
Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul.

Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful.

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
