1 Ahụrụ m Onyenwe anyị nʼanya, nʼihi na ọ nụrụ olu m; ọ nụrụ mkpu akwa m maka ebere.
I love Yahweh—because he heareth my voice, my supplications;
2 Nʼihi na o gere m ntị, aga m akpọku ya oge ndụ m niile.
Because he hath bowed down his ear unto me, therefore, throughout my days, will I call.

The meshes of death encompassed me, and the distresses of hades, came upon me, Peril and sorrow, I found; (Sheol h7585)
4 Mgbe ahụ, akpọkuru m aha Onyenwe anyị: “O Onyenwe anyị, zọpụta m!”
But, on the Name of Yahweh, I called—I beseech thee, Yahweh, deliver my soul.
5 Onyenwe anyị bụ onye na-eme ebere na onye ezi omume. Chineke anyị jupụtakwara nʼọmịiko.
Gracious is Yahweh and righteous, and, our God, is full of compassion.
6 Onyenwe anyị na-echebe ndị na-enweghị uche; mgbe m nọ nʼọnọdụ mkpa, ọ zọpụtara m.
Yahweh, preserveth the simple, I was brought low, when, to me, he granted salvation.
7 Laghachi azụ zuru ike, gị mkpụrụobi m, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị emesola gị mmeso ọma.
Return, O my soul, to thy rest, For, Yahweh, hath dealt bountifully with thee.

For thou hast rescued my soul from death, —mine eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

I will walk to and fro before Yahweh, in the lands of life.
10 Ekwenyere m na Onyenwe anyị mgbe m kwuru sị, “Abụ m onye nọ nʼoke nsogbu,”
I believed that I should speak, I, was greatly depressed.
11 nʼime ịda mba m, ekwuru m sị, “Mmadụ niile bụ ndị ụgha.”
I, said in mine alarm, All men, are false!
12 Gịnị ka m ga-enyeghachi Onyenwe anyị nʼihi mmeso ọma niile o mesoro m?
How shall I give back to Yahweh, All his benefits unto me?

The cup of salvation, will I lift, and, on the Name of Yahweh, will I call:

Costly in the eyes of Yahweh, is, death, for his men of lovingkindness.
16 O Onyenwe anyị, nʼezie, abụ m ohu gị; abụ m ohu gị, nwa nwoke nke ohu gị nwanyị; ị zọpụtala m site na agbụ e kere m.
I beseech thee, O Yahweh—for, I, am thy servant, —I, am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid, Thou hast loosened my bonds.
17 Aga m achụrụ gị aja ekele kpọkuokwa aha Onyenwe anyị.
To thee, will I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and, on the Name of Yahweh, will I call:

My vows—to Yahweh, will I pay, Might it be in the presence of all his people; —
