The LORD Has Heard My Voice

1I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.+ 2Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.+ 3The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.+ 4Then I called on Yahweh’s name: “Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul.”+ 5Yahweh is Gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.+ 6Yahweh preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.+ 7Return to your rest, my soul, for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.+ 8For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.+ 9I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living.+ 10I believed, therefore I said, “I was greatly afflicted.”+ 11I said in my haste, “All men are liars.”+ 12What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me?+ 13I will take the cup of salvation, and call on Yahweh’s name.+ 14I will pay my vows to Yahweh, yes, in the presence of all his people.+ 15Precious in Yahweh’s sight is the death of his saints.+ 16Yahweh, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your servant. You have freed me from my chains.+ 17I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on Yahweh’s name.+ 18I will pay my vows to Yahweh, yes, in the presence of all his people,+ 19in the courts of Yahweh’s house, in the middle of you, Jerusalem. Praise Yah!+
