King James Version KJV
1 I love that ADONAI heard my voice when I prayed;
1
I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2 because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
2
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3 The cords of death were all around me, Sh'ol's constrictions held me fast; I was finding only distress and anguish.
3
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
4 But I called on the name of ADONAI: "Please, ADONAI! Save me!"
4
Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5 ADONAI is merciful and righteous; yes, our God is compassionate.
5
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6 ADONAI preserves the thoughtless; when I was brought low, he saved me.
6
The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7 My soul, return to your rest! For ADONAI has been generous toward you.
7
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8 Yes, you have rescued me from death, my eyes from tears and my feet from falling.
8
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9 I will go on walking in the presence of ADONAI in the lands of the living.
9
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 I will keep on trusting even when I say, "I am utterly miserable,"
10
I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
11 even when, in my panic, I declare, "Everything human is deceptive."
11
I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12 How can I repay ADONAI for all his generous dealings with me?
12
What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
13 I will raise the cup of salvation and call on the name of ADONAI.
13
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
14 I will pay my vows to ADONAI in the presence of all his people.
14
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
15 From ADONAI's point of view, the death of those faithful to him is costly.
15
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
16 Oh, ADONAI! I am your slave; I am your slave, the son of your slave-girl; you have removed my fetters.
16
O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer a sacrifice of thanks to you and will call on the name of ADONAI.
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 to ADONAI in the presence of all his people,
18
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courtyards of ADONAI's house, there in your very heart, Yerushalayim. Halleluyah!
19
In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
