1 Amo ao Senhor, porque ele ouviu a minha voz e a minha súplica.2 Porque inclinou a mim os seus ouvidos; portanto, o invocarei enquanto viver.3 Os cordéis da morte me cercaram, e angústias do inferno se apoderaram de mim; encontrei aperto e tristeza.4 Então invoquei o nome do Senhor, dizendo: Ó Senhor, livra a minha alma.5 Piedoso é o Senhor e justo; o nosso Deus tem misericórdia.6 O Senhor guarda aos símplices; fui abatido, mas ele me livrou.7 Volta, minha alma, para o teu repouso, pois o Senhor te fez bem.8 Porque tu livraste a minha alma da morte, os meus olhos das lágrimas, e os meus pés da queda.9 Andarei perante a face do Senhor na terra dos viventes.10 Cri, por isso falei. Estive muito aflito.11 Dizia na minha pressa: Todos os homens são mentirosos.12 Que darei eu ao Senhor, por todos os benefícios que me tem feito?13 Tomarei o cálice da salvação, e invocarei o nome do Senhor.14 Pagarei os meus votos ao Senhor, agora, na presença de todo o seu povo.15 Preciosa é à vista do Senhor a morte dos seus santos.16 Ó Senhor, deveras sou teu servo; sou teu servo, filho da tua serva; soltaste as minhas ataduras.17 Oferecer-te-ei sacrifícios de louvor, e invocarei o nome do Senhor.18 Pagarei os meus votos ao Senhor, na presença de todo o seu povo,19 Nos átrios da casa do Senhor, no meio de ti, ó Jerusalém. Louvai ao Senhor.

1 I have given my love to the Lord, because he has given ear to the voice of my cry and my prayer.2 He has let my request come before him, and I will make my prayer to him all my days.3 The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow.4 Then I made my prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord, take my soul out of trouble.5 The Lord is full of grace and righteousness; truly, he is a God of mercy.6 The Lord keeps the simple; I was made low, and he was my saviour.7 Come back to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has given you your reward.8 You have taken my soul from the power of death, keeping my eyes from weeping, and my feet from falling.9 I will go before the Lord in the land of the living.10 I still had faith, though I said, I am in great trouble;11 Though I said in my fear, All men are false.12 What may I give to the Lord for all the good things which he has done for me?13 I will take the cup of salvation, and give praise to the name of the Lord.14 I will make the offering of my oath to the Lord, even before all his people.15 Dear in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints.16 O Lord, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of her who is your servant; by you have my cords been broken.17 I will give an offering of praise to you, and make my prayer in the name of the Lord.18 I will make the offerings of my oath, even before all his people;19 In the Lord's house, even in Jerusalem. Praise be to the Lord.
