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 of me.

I found trouble and sorrow.

4 Then I called on Yahweh’s name:

"Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul."

5 Yahweh is gracious 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 people 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 Yahweh’s name.

14 I will pay my vows to Yahweh,

yes, in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in Yahweh’s sight is the death of his saints.

16 Yahweh, truly I am your servant.

I am your servant, the son of your servant girl.

You have freed me from my chains.

17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

and will call on Yahweh’s name.

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 middle of you, Jerusalem.

Praise Yah!

1 我爱耶和华, 因为他听了我的声音、我的恳求。

2 因为他留心听我的恳求, 我一生一世要求告他。

3 死亡的绳索缠绕着我, 阴间的痛苦抓住我; 我遭遇患难和愁苦。

4 那时, 我呼求耶和华的名, 说: "耶和华啊! 求你拯救我。"

5 耶和华有恩典, 有公义, 我们的 神满有怜悯。

6 耶和华保护愚蒙人, 我落到卑微的地步, 他拯救了我。

7 我的心哪! 你要回复安宁, 因为耶和华用厚恩待你。

8 主啊! 你救了我的性命脱离死亡, 你使我的眼睛不致流泪, 使我的双脚不致跌倒。

9 我要在活人之地, 行在耶和华面前。

10 我虽然说: "我受了极大的痛苦", 但我仍然相信。

11 我在惊惶之中曾说: "人都是说谎的。"

12 我拿什么报答耶和华向我所施的一切厚恩呢?

13 我要举起救恩的杯, 称扬耶和华的名。

14 我要在耶和华的众民面前, 向他还我所许的愿。

15 在耶和华的眼中看来, 圣民的死极为宝贵。

16 耶和华啊! 我真是你的仆人; 我是你仆人, 你婢女的儿子; 我的锁链你给我解开了。

17 我要把感恩祭献给你, 我要称扬耶和华的名。

18 我要在耶和华的众民面前, 向他还我所许的愿。

19 耶路撒冷啊! 就是在你的中间, 在耶和华殿的院子里, 我要还我所许的愿。你们要赞美耶和华。
