International Standard Version | New American Standard Bible 1995 |
1I love the LORD because he has heard my prayer for mercy; | 1I love the LORD, because He hears My voice and my supplications. |
2for he listens to me whenever I call. | 2Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live. |
3The ropes of death were wound around me and the anguish of Sheol came upon me; I encountered distress and sorrow. | 3The cords of death encompassed me And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow. |
4Then I called on the name of the LORD, "LORD, please deliver me!" | 4Then I called upon the name of the LORD: "O LORD, I beseech You, save my life!" |
5The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate; | 5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yes, our God is compassionate. |
6the LORD watches over the innocent; I was brought low, and he delivered me. | 6The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. |
7Return to your resting place, my soul, for the LORD treated you generously. | 7Return to your rest, O my soul, For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. |
8Indeed, you delivered my soul from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling. | 8For You have rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, My feet from stumbling. |
9I will walk in the LORD's presence in the lands of the living. | 9I shall walk before the LORD In the land of the living. |
10I will continue to believe, even when I say, "I am greatly afflicted" | 10I believed when I said, "I am greatly afflicted." |
11and speak hastily, "All people are liars!" | 11I said in my alarm, "All men are liars." |
12What will I return to the LORD for all his benefits to me? | 12What shall I render to the LORD For all His benefits toward me? |
13I will raise my cup of deliverance and invoke the LORD's name. | 13I shall lift up the cup of salvation And call upon the name of the LORD. |
14I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people. | 14I shall pay my vows to the LORD, Oh may it be in the presence of all His people. |
15In the sight of the LORD, the death of his faithful ones is valued. | 15Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His godly ones. |
16LORD, I am indeed your servant. I am your servant. I am the son of your handmaid. You have released my bonds. | 16O LORD, surely I am Your servant, I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid, You have loosed my bonds. |
17I will bring you a thanksgiving offering and call on the name of the LORD! | 17To You I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving, And call upon the name of the LORD. |
18I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people, | 18I shall pay my vows to the LORD, Oh may it be in the presence of all His people, |
19in the courts of the LORD's house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Hallelujah! | 19In the courts of the LORD'S house, In the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD! |
