## I Love Yahweh ###### 1 I love Yahweh, because He hears My voice _and_ my supplications. ###### 2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, So I shall call _upon Him_ in all my days. ###### 3 The cords of death encompassed me And the distresses of Sheol found me; I found distress and sorrow. ###### 4 Then I called upon the name of Yahweh: "O Yahweh, I beseech You, provide my soul escape!" ###### 5 Gracious is Yahweh, and righteous; And our God is compassionate. ###### 6 Yahweh keeps the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. ###### 7 Return to your rest, O my soul, For Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you. ###### 8 For You have rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, My feet from stumbling. ###### 9 I shall walk before Yahweh In the land of the living. ###### 10 I believed when I said, "I am greatly afflicted." ###### 11 I said in my alarm, "All men are liars." ###### 12 What shall I give to Yahweh in return For all His bountiful dealings with me? ###### 13 I shall lift up the cup of salvation And call upon the name of Yahweh. ###### 14 I shall pay my vows to Yahweh, Oh _may it be_ in the presence of all His people. ###### 15 Precious in the sight of Yahweh Is the death of His holy ones. ###### 16 O Yahweh, surely I am Your slave, I am Your slave, the son of Your maidservant, You have loosed my bonds. ###### 17 To You I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving, And call upon the name of Yahweh. ###### 18 I shall pay my vows to Yahweh, Oh _may it be_ in the presence of all His people, ###### 19 In the courts of the house of Yahweh, In the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
