I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.
2 El lohngyu Ke pacl nukewa nga pang nu sel.
Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

Then I called on the LORD’s name: “LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul.”

The LORD is gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.

Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
8 LEUM GOD El moliyula liki misa, El tulokinya sroninmutuk Ac sruokyuwi liki ikori.
For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

I believed, therefore I said, “I was greatly afflicted.”
11 Oayapa ke nga sangeng ac fahk, “Wangin mwet ku in lulalfongiyuk.”
I said in my haste, “All people are liars.”
12 Mea nga ac ku in sang nu sin LEUM GOD Ke ma wo nukewa El ase nu sik?
