NASB Parallel NET [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New American Standard Bible 1995NET Bible
1I love the LORD, because He hears My voice and my supplications.1I love the LORD because he heard my plea for mercy,
2Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I shall 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 cords of death encompassed me And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow.3The ropes of death tightened around me, the snares of Sheol confronted me. I was confronted with trouble and sorrow.
4Then I called upon the name of the LORD: "O LORD, I beseech You, save my life!"4I called on the name of the LORD, "Please LORD, rescue my life!"
5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yes, our God is compassionate.5The LORD is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate.
6The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.6The LORD protects the untrained; I was in serious trouble and he delivered me.
7Return to your rest, O my soul, For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.7Rest once more, my soul, for the LORD has vindicated you.
8For You have rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, My feet from stumbling.8Yes, LORD, you rescued my life from death, and kept my feet from stumbling.
9I shall walk before the LORD In the land of the living.9I will serve the LORD in the land of the living.
10I believed when I said, "I am greatly afflicted."10I had faith when I said, "I am severely oppressed."
11I said in my alarm, "All men are liars."11I rashly declared, "All men are liars."
12What shall I render to the LORD For all His benefits toward me?12How can I repay the LORD for all his acts of kindness to me?
13I shall lift up 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 shall pay my vows to the LORD, Oh may it be 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 godly ones.15The LORD values the lives of his faithful followers.
16O LORD, surely I am Your servant, I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid, You have loosed my bonds.16Yes, LORD! I am indeed your servant; I am your lowest slave. You saved me from death.
17To You I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving, And call upon the name of the LORD.17I will present a thank offering to you, and call on the name of the LORD.
18I shall pay my vows to the LORD, Oh may it be 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 you, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!19in the courts of the LORD's temple, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
