1 אָהַבְתִּי כִּי־יִשְׁמַע ׀ יְהֹוָה אֶת־קוֹלִי תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃

Alleluia. I have loved: therefore, the Lord will heed the voice of my prayer.

2 כִּי־הִטָּה אׇזְנוֹ לִי וּבְיָמַי אֶקְרָֽא׃

For he has inclined his ear to me. And in my days, I will call upon him.

3 אֲפָפוּנִי ׀ חֶבְלֵי־מָוֶת וּמְצָרֵי שְׁאוֹל מְצָאוּנִי צָרָה וְיָגוֹן אֶמְצָֽא׃ (Sheol h7585)

The sorrows of death have surrounded me, and the perils of Hell have found me. I have found tribulation and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

4 וּבְשֵֽׁם־יְהֹוָה אֶקְרָא אָנָּה יְהֹוָה מַלְּטָה נַפְשִֽׁי׃

And so, I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, free my soul.

5 חַנּוּן יְהֹוָה וְצַדִּיק וֵאלֹהֵינוּ מְרַחֵֽם׃

Merciful is the Lord, and just. And our God is compassionate.

6 שֹׁמֵר פְּתָאיִם יְהֹוָה דַּלֹּתִי וְלִי יְהוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃

The Lord is the keeper of little ones. I was humbled, and he freed me.

7 שׁוּבִי נַפְשִׁי לִמְנוּחָיְכִי כִּֽי־יְהֹוָה גָּמַל עָלָֽיְכִי׃

Turn again, my soul, to your rest. For the Lord has done good to you.

8 כִּי חִלַּצְתָּ נַפְשִׁי מִמָּוֶת אֶת־עֵינִי מִן־דִּמְעָה אֶת־רַגְלִי מִדֶּֽחִי׃

For he has rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from slipping.

9 אֶתְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה בְּאַרְצוֹת הַחַיִּֽים׃

I will please the Lord in the land of the living.

10 הֶאֱמַנְתִּי כִּי אֲדַבֵּר אֲנִי עָנִיתִי מְאֹֽד׃

Alleluia. I had confidence, because of what I was saying, but then I was greatly humbled.

11 אֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי בְחׇפְזִי כׇּֽל־הָאָדָם כֹּזֵֽב׃

I said in my excess, “Every man is a liar.”

12 מָה־אָשִׁיב לַיהֹוָה כׇּֽל־תַּגְמוּלוֹהִי עָלָֽי׃

What shall I repay to the Lord, for all the things that he has repaid to me?

13 כּוֹס־יְשׁוּעוֹת אֶשָּׂא וּבְשֵׁם יְהֹוָה אֶקְרָֽא׃

I will take up the cup of salvation, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

14 נְדָרַי לַיהֹוָה אֲשַׁלֵּם נֶגְדָה־נָּא לְכׇל־עַמּֽוֹ׃

I will repay my vows to the Lord, in the sight of all his people.

15 יָקָר בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָה הַמָּוְתָה לַחֲסִידָֽיו׃

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his holy ones.

16 אָנָּה יְהֹוָה כִּֽי־אֲנִי עַבְדֶּךָ אֲנִי־עַבְדְּךָ בֶּן־אֲמָתֶךָ פִּתַּחְתָּ לְמֽוֹסֵרָֽי׃

O Lord, because I am your servant, your servant and the son of your handmaid, you have broken my bonds.

17 לְֽךָ־אֶזְבַּח זֶבַח תּוֹדָה וּבְשֵׁם יְהֹוָה אֶקְרָֽא׃

I will sacrifice to you the sacrifice of praise, and I will invoke the name of the Lord.

18 נְדָרַי לַיהֹוָה אֲשַׁלֵּם נֶגְדָה־נָּא לְכׇל־עַמּֽוֹ׃

I will repay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people,

19 בְּחַצְרוֹת ׀ בֵּית יְהֹוָה בְּֽתוֹכֵכִי יְֽרוּשָׁלָ͏ִם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃

in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem.
