1. I love Jehovah, because he heareth My voice and my supplications.
2. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3. The cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
4. Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5. Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful.
6. Jehovah preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.
7. Return unto thy rest, O my soul; For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.
