Holman Christian Standard BibleNET Bible
1I love the LORD because He has heard my appeal for mercy. 1I love the LORD because he heard my plea for mercy,
2Because He has turned His ear to me, I will call out to 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 ropes of death were wrapped around me, and the torments of Sheol overcame me; I encountered trouble 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 on the name of Yahweh:" Yahweh, save me!" 4I called on the name of the LORD, "Please LORD, rescue my life!"
5The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate. 5The LORD is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate.
6The LORD guards the inexperienced; I was helpless, and He saved me. 6The LORD protects the untrained; I was in serious trouble and he delivered me.
7Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. 7Rest once more, my soul, for the LORD has vindicated you.
8For You, LORD, rescued me 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 will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. 9I will serve the LORD in the land of the living.
10I believed, even when I said," I am severely afflicted." 10I had faith when I said, "I am severely oppressed."
11In my alarm I said," Everyone is a liar." 11I rashly declared, "All men are liars."
12How can I repay the LORD for all the good He has done for me? 12How can I repay the LORD for all his acts of kindness to me?
13I will take the cup of salvation and call on the name of Yahweh. 13I will celebrate my deliverance, and call on the name of the LORD.
14I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people. 14I will fulfill my vows to the LORD before all his people.
15The death of His faithful ones is valuable in the LORD's sight. 15The LORD values the lives of his faithful followers.
16 LORD, I am indeed Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your female servant. You have loosened my bonds. 16Yes, LORD! I am indeed your servant; I am your lowest slave. You saved me from death.
17I will offer You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of Yahweh. 17I will present a thank offering to you, and call on the name of the LORD.
18I will fulfill my vows to the LORD 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-- within you, Jerusalem. Hallelujah! 19in the courts of the LORD's temple, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
