He Listens to My Voice
1I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
4Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
11I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
13I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
14I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
15Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
16O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
17I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
18I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,
19In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

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.

The LORD Has Heard My Voice
1 I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice—
my appeal for mercy.
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me,
I will call on Him as long as I live.
3 The ropes of death entangled me;
the anguish of Sheol overcame me;
I was confronted by trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD:
“O LORD, deliver my soul!”
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.
6 The LORD preserves the simplehearted;
I was helpless, and He saved me.
7 Return to your rest, O my soul,
for the LORD has been good to you.
8 For You have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9 I will walk before the LORD
in the land of the living.
10 I believed, therefore I said, a
“I am greatly afflicted.”
11 In my alarm I said,
“All men are liars!”
12 How can I repay the LORD
for all His goodness to me?
13 I will lift the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the LORD.
14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all His people.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD
is the death of His saints.
16 Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant;
I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant;
You have broken my bonds.
17 I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving
and call on the name of the LORD.
18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all His people,
19 in the courts of the LORD’s house,
in your midst, O Jerusalem.
Hallelujah! b

He Listens to My Voice
1I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,
2Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.
3Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find.
4And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,
5Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God is merciful,
6A preserver of the simple is Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.
7Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.
8For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.
9I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.
10I have believed, for I speak, I -- I have been afflicted greatly.
11I said in my haste, 'Every man is a liar.'
12What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits are upon me.
13The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.
14My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people.
15Precious in the eyes of Jehovah is the death for His saints.
16Cause it to come, O Jehovah, for I am Thy servant. I am Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.
17To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.
18My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,
19In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!
