New King James VersionHolman Christian Standard Bible
1I love the LORD, because He has heard My voice and my supplications.1I love the LORD because He has heard my appeal for mercy.
2Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.2Because He has turned His ear to me, I will call out to Him as long as I live.
3The pains of death surrounded me, And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow.3The ropes of death were wrapped around me, and the torments of Sheol overcame me; I encountered trouble and sorrow.
4Then I called upon the name of the LORD: “O LORD, I implore You, deliver my soul!”4Then I called on the name of Yahweh:" Yahweh, save me!"
5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful.5The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate.
6The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.6The LORD guards the inexperienced; I was helpless, and He saved me.
7Return to your rest, O my soul, For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.7Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
8For You have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.8For You, LORD, rescued me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9I will walk before the LORD In the land of the living.9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10I believed, therefore I spoke, “I am greatly afflicted.”10I believed, even when I said," I am severely afflicted."
11I said in my haste, “All men are liars.”11In my alarm I said," Everyone is a liar."
12What shall I render to the LORD For all His benefits toward me?12How can I repay the LORD for all the good He has done for me?
13I will take up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the LORD.13I will take the cup of salvation and call on the name of Yahweh.
14I will pay my vows to 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.15The death of His faithful ones is valuable in the LORD's sight.
16O LORD, truly I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have loosed my bonds.16 LORD, I am indeed Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your female servant. You have loosened my bonds.
17I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the LORD.17I will offer You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of Yahweh.
18I will pay my vows to 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 you, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!19in the courts of the LORD's house-- within you, Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
