I love , because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.

Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

Return to your rest, my soul, for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.

For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living.

in the courts of Yahweh’s house, in the middle of you, Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
