KJV Parallel NET [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
King James BibleNET Bible
1I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.1I love the LORD because he heard my plea for mercy,
2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.2and listened to me. As long as I live, I will call to him when I need help.
3The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.3The ropes of death tightened around me, the snares of Sheol confronted me. I was confronted with trouble and sorrow.
4Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.4I called on the name of the LORD, "Please LORD, rescue my life!"
5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.5The LORD is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate.
6The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.6The LORD protects the untrained; I was in serious trouble and he delivered me.
7Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.7Rest once more, my soul, for the LORD has vindicated you.
8For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.8Yes, LORD, you rescued my life from death, and kept my feet from stumbling.
9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.9I will serve the LORD in the land of the living.
10I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:10I had faith when I said, "I am severely oppressed."
11I said in my haste, All men are liars.11I rashly declared, "All men are liars."
12What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?12How can I repay the LORD for all his acts of kindness to me?
13I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.13I will celebrate my deliverance, and call on the name of the LORD.
14I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.14I will fulfill my vows to the LORD before all his people.
15Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.15The LORD values the lives of his faithful followers.
16O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.16Yes, LORD! I am indeed your servant; I am your lowest slave. You saved me from death.
17I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.17I will present a thank offering to you, and call on the name of the LORD.
18I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,18I will fulfill my vows to the LORD before all his people,
19In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.19in the courts of the LORD's temple, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
