Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 I love the LORD because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy.
1
I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,
2 Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!
2
Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.
3 Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow.
3
Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find.
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD : “Please, LORD, save me!”
4
And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,
5 How kind the LORD is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours!
5
Gracious [is] Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God [is] merciful,
6 The LORD protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and he saved me.
6
A preserver of the simple [is] Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.
7 Let my soul be at rest again, for the LORD has been good to me.
7
Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.
8 He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
8
For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.
9 And so I walk in the LORD ’s presence as I live here on earth!
9
I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.
10 I believed in you, so I said, “I am deeply troubled, LORD .”
10
I have believed, for I speak, I -- I have been afflicted greatly.
11 In my anxiety I cried out to you, “These people are all liars!”
11
I said in my haste, `Every man [is] a liar.'
12 What can I offer the LORD for all he has done for me?
12
What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon me.
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the LORD ’s name for saving me.
13
The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.
14 I will keep my promises to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
14
My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people.
15 The LORD cares deeply when his loved ones die.
15
Precious in the eyes of Jehovah [is] the death for His saints.
16 O LORD, I am your servant; yes, I am your servant, born into your household; you have freed me from my chains.
16
Cause [it] to come, O Jehovah, for I [am] Thy servant. I [am] Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.
17 I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD .
17
To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.
18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people—
18
My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,
19 in the house of the LORD in the heart of Jerusalem. Praise the LORD !
19
In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!
