| King James Bible | International Standard Version |
| 1I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. | 1I love the LORD because he has heard my prayer for mercy; |
| 2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. | 2for he listens to me whenever I call. |
| 3The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. | 3The ropes of death were wound around me and the anguish of Sheol came upon me; I encountered distress and sorrow. |
| 4Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. | 4Then I called on the name of the LORD, "LORD, please deliver me!" |
| 5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. | 5The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate; |
| 6The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. | 6the LORD watches over the innocent; I was brought low, and he delivered me. |
| 7Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. | 7Return to your resting place, my soul, for the LORD treated you generously. |
| 8For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. | 8Indeed, you delivered my soul from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling. |
| 9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. | 9I will walk in the LORD's presence in the lands of the living. |
| 10I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: | 10I will continue to believe, even when I say, "I am greatly afflicted" |
| 11I said in my haste, All men are liars. | 11and speak hastily, "All people are liars!" |
| 12What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? | 12What will I return to the LORD for all his benefits to me? |
| 13I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. | 13I will raise my cup of deliverance and invoke the LORD's name. |
| 14I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. | 14I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people. |
| 15Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. | 15In the sight of the LORD, the death of his faithful ones is valued. |
| 16O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. | 16LORD, I am indeed your servant. I am your servant. I am the son of your handmaid. You have released my bonds. |
| 17I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. | 17I will bring you a thanksgiving offering 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 in the presence of 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 house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Hallelujah! |
