The Lord has heard my voice
1
I love Yahweh because he hears my voice and my pleas for mercy.
2
Because he listened to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
3
The cords of death surrounded me, and the snares of Sheol confronted me; I felt anguish and sorrow.
4
Then I called on the name of Yahweh: “Please Yahweh, rescue my life.”
5
Yahweh is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate.
6
Yahweh protects the naive; I was brought low, and he saved me.
7
My soul can return to its resting place, for Yahweh has been good to me.
8
For you rescued my life from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.
9
I will serve Yahweh in the land of the living.
10
I believed in him, even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”
11
I rashly said, “All men are liars.”
12
How can I repay Yahweh for all his kindnesses to me?
13
I will raise the cup of salvation, and call on the name of Yahweh.
14
I will fulfill my vows to Yahweh in the presence of all his people.
15
Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of his saints.
16
Yahweh, indeed, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your servant woman; you have taken away my bonds.
17
I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and will call on the name of Yahweh.
18
I will fulfill my vows to Yahweh in the presence of all his people,
19
in the courts of Yahweh’s house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise Yahweh.
