2
Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.
3
Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find.
4
And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,
5
Gracious [is] Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God [is] merciful,
6
A preserver of the simple [is] Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.
7
Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.
8
For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.
9
I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.
10
I have believed, for I speak, I -- I have been afflicted greatly.
11
I said in my haste, `Every man [is] a liar.'
12
What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon me.
