| New King James Version | International Standard Version |
| 1I love the LORD, because He has heard My voice and my supplications. | 1I love the LORD because he has heard my prayer for mercy; |
| 2Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live. | 2for he listens to me whenever I call. |
| 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 wound around me and the anguish of Sheol came upon me; I encountered distress 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 the LORD, "LORD, please deliver 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 watches over the innocent; I was brought low, and he delivered me. |
| 7Return to your rest, O my soul, For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. | 7Return to your resting place, my soul, for the LORD treated you generously. |
| 8For You have delivered my soul from death, My 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 I spoke, “I am 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 to the LORD For all His benefits toward me? | 12What will I return to the LORD for all his benefits to me? |
| 13I will take up 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 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. | 15In the sight of the LORD, the death of his faithful ones is valued. |
| 16O LORD, truly I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have 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 You 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 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, in your midst, Jerusalem. Hallelujah! |
