1
I love the LORD, because he
hath heard my voice and my
supplications. |
1
I love that ADONAI heard my
voice when I prayed; |
|
2
Because he hath inclined his
ear unto me, therefore will
I call upon him as long as I
live. |
2
because he turned his ear to
me, I will call on him as
long as I live. |
|
3
The sorrows of death
compassed me, and the pains
of hell gat hold upon me: I
found trouble and sorrow.
|
3
The cords of death were all
around me, Sh'ol's
constrictions held me fast;
I was finding only distress
and anguish. |
|
4
Then called I upon the name
of the LORD; O LORD, I
beseech thee, deliver my
soul. |
4
But I called on the name of
ADONAI: "Please, ADONAI!
Save me!" |
|
5
Gracious is the LORD, and
righteous; yea, our God is
merciful . |
5
ADONAI is merciful and
righteous; yes, our God is
compassionate. |
|
6
The LORD preserveth the
simple: I was brought low ,
and he helped me. |
6
ADONAI preserves the
thoughtless; when I was
brought low, he saved me.
|
|
7
Return unto thy rest, O my
soul; for the LORD hath
dealt bountifully with thee.
|
7
My soul, return to your
rest! For ADONAI has been
generous toward you. |
|
8
For thou hast delivered my
soul from death, mine eyes
from tears, and my feet from
falling. |
8
Yes, you have rescued me
from death, my eyes from
tears and my feet from
falling. |
|
9
I will walk before the LORD
in the land of the living.
|
9
I will go on walking in the
presence of ADONAI in the
lands of the living. |
|
10
I believed , therefore have
I spoken : I was greatly
afflicted : |
10
I will keep on trusting even
when I say, "I am utterly
miserable," |
|
11
I said in my haste , All men
are liars . |
11
even when, in my panic, I
declare, "Everything human
is deceptive." |
|
12
What shall I render unto the
LORD for all his benefits
toward me? |
12
How can I repay ADONAI for
all his generous dealings
with me? |
|
13
I will take the cup of
salvation, and call upon the
name of the LORD. |
13
I will raise the cup of
salvation and call on the
name of ADONAI. |
|
14
I will pay my vows unto the
LORD now in the presence of
all his people. |
14
I will pay my vows to ADONAI
in the presence of all his
people. |
|
15
Precious in the sight of the
LORD is the death of his
saints. |
15
From ADONAI's point of view,
the death of those faithful
to him is costly. |
|
16
O LORD, truly I am thy
servant; I am thy servant,
and the son of thine
handmaid: thou hast loosed
my bonds. |
16
Oh, ADONAI! I am your slave;
I am your slave, the son of
your slave-girl; you have
removed my fetters. |
|
17
I will offer to thee the
sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and will call upon the name
of the LORD. |
17
I will offer a sacrifice of
thanks to you and will call
on the name of ADONAI. |
|
18
I will pay my vows unto the
LORD now in the presence of
all his people, |
18
I will pay my vows to ADONAI
in the presence of all his
people, |
|
19
In the courts of the LORD'S
house, in the midst of thee,
O Jerusalem. Praise ye the
LORD. |
19
in the courtyards of
ADONAI's house, there in
your very heart,
Yerushalayim. Halleluyah!
