ISV Parallel CSB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionChristian Standard Bible
1I love the LORD because he has heard my prayer for mercy; 1I love the LORD because he has heard my appeal for mercy.
2for he listens to me whenever I call.2Because he has turned his ear to me, I will call out to him as long as I live.
3The ropes of death were wound around me and the anguish of Sheol came upon me; I encountered distress 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 on the name of the LORD, "LORD, please deliver me!" 4Then I called on the name of the LORD: "LORD, save me!"
5The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate;5The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate.
6the LORD watches over the innocent; I was brought low, and he delivered me.6The LORD guards the inexperienced; I was helpless, and he saved me.
7Return to your resting place, my soul, for the LORD treated you generously.7Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
8Indeed, you delivered my soul from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling.8For you, LORD, rescued me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9I will walk in the LORD's presence in the lands of the living.9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10I will continue to believe, even when I say, "I am greatly afflicted"10I believed, even when I said, "I am severely oppressed."
11and speak hastily, "All people are liars!"11In my alarm I said, "Everyone is a liar."
12What will I return to the LORD for all his benefits to me?12How can I repay the LORD for all the good he has done for me?
13I will raise my cup of deliverance and invoke the LORD's name.13I will take the cup of salvation 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 in the presence of all his people.
15In the sight of the LORD, the death of his faithful ones is valued.15The death of his faithful ones is valuable in the LORD's sight.
16LORD, I am indeed your servant. I am your servant. I am the son of your handmaid. You have released my bonds.16LORD, I am indeed your servant; I am your servant, the son of your female servant. You have loosened my bonds.
17I will bring you a thanksgiving offering and call on the name of the LORD!17I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving 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 in the presence of all his people,
19in the courts of the LORD's house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Hallelujah!19in the courts of the LORD's house--within you, Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
