[1] I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice,    And my cries for
mercy. [2] Because he has turned his ear to me,    Therefore I will call on
him as long as I live. [3] The cords of death surrounded me,	The pains
of Sheol got a hold on me.    I found trouble and sorrow. [4] Then called I
on the name of Yahweh:	  "Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul." [5]
Gracious is Yahweh, and righteous;    Yes, our God is merciful. [6] Yahweh
preserves the simple.	 I was brought low, and he saved me. [7] Return to
your rest, my soul,    For Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you. [8] For
you have delivered my soul from death,	  My eyes from tears,	 And my
feet from falling. [9] I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living.
[10] I believed, therefore I said,    "I was greatly afflicted." [11] I
said in my haste,    "All men are liars." [12] What will I give to Yahweh
for all his benefits toward me? [13] I will take the cup of salvation, and
call on the name of	  Yahweh. [14] I will pay my vows to Yahweh,   
Yes, in the presence of all his people. [15] Precious in the sight of
Yahweh is the death of his saints. [16] Yahweh, truly I am your servant.   
I am your servant, the son of your handmaid.	You have freed me from my
chains. [17] I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,    And will
call on the name of Yahweh. [18] I will pay my vows to Yahweh,	  Yes, in
the presence of all his people, [19] In the courts of Yahweh`s house,	 In
the midst of you, Jerusalem. Praise Yah!      Psalm 117
