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

I love Yahweh because he hears my voice and my pleas for mercy.

2 כִּי־הִטָּה אׇזְנוֹ לִי וּבְיָמַי אֶקְרָֽא׃

Because he listened to me, I will call on him as long as I live.

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

The cords of death surrounded me, and the snares of Sheol confronted me; I felt anguish and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

Then I called on the name of Yahweh: “Please Yahweh, rescue my life.”

5 חַנּוּן יְהֹוָה וְצַדִּיק וֵאלֹהֵינוּ מְרַחֵֽם׃

Yahweh is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate.

Yahweh protects the naive; I was brought low, and he saved me.

7 שׁוּבִי נַפְשִׁי לִמְנוּחָיְכִי כִּֽי־יְהֹוָה גָּמַל עָלָֽיְכִי׃

My soul can return to its resting place, for Yahweh has been good to me.

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

For you rescued my life from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.

I will serve Yahweh in the land of the living.

I believed in him, even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”

In my confusion I said, “All men are liars.”

12 מָה־אָשִׁיב לַיהֹוָה כׇּֽל־תַּגְמוּלוֹהִי עָלָֽי׃

How can I repay Yahweh for all his kindnesses to me?

I will raise the cup of salvation, and call on the name of Yahweh.

Yahweh, indeed, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your servant woman; you have taken away my bonds.

17 לְֽךָ־אֶזְבַּח זֶבַח תּוֹדָה וּבְשֵׁם יְהֹוָה אֶקְרָֽא׃

I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and will call on the name of Yahweh.
