Translation

(1) I love that the LORD should hear my voice and my supplications.

(2) Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, Therefore will I call upon Him all my days.

(3) The cords of death compassed me, And the straits of the nether-world got hold upon me; I found trouble and sorrow.

(4) But I called upon the name of the LORD: 'I beseech thee, O LORD, deliver my soul.'

(5) Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yea, our God is compassionate.

(6) The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.

(7) Return, O my soul, unto Thy rest; For the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

(8) For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, And my feet from stumbling.

(9) I shall walk before the LORD In the lands of the living.

(10) I trusted even when I spoke: 'I am greatly afflicted.'

(11) I said in my haste: 'All men are liars.'

(12) How can I repay unto the LORD All His bountiful dealings toward me?

(13) I will lift up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the LORD.

(14) My vows will I pay unto the LORD, Yea, in the presence of all His people.

(15) Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His saints.

(16) I beseech Thee, O LORD, for I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bands.

(17) I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the LORD.

(18) I will pay my vows unto the LORD, Yea, in the presence of all His people;

(19) In the courts of the LORD’S house, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
