Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
1
I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,
2 Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
2
Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.

Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.

For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.
9 that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

I said in my haste, `Every man [is] a liar.'
12 What shall I return to the LORD for all his goodness to me?
12
What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon me.
