1 Amo o Senhor, porque ele ouve
a minha voz e as minhas súplicas.
2 Porque inclinou para mim os seus ouvidos,
invocá-lo-ei enquanto eu viver.
3 Laços de morte me cercaram,
e angústias do inferno se apoderaram de mim;
caí em tribulação e tristeza.
4 Então, invoquei o nome do Senhor:
ó Senhor, livra-me a alma.
5 Compassivo e justo é o Senhor;
o nosso Deus é misericordioso.
6 O Senhor vela pelos simples;
achava-me prostrado, e ele me salvou.
7 Volta, minha alma, ao teu sossego,
pois o Senhor tem sido generoso para contigo.
8 Pois livraste da morte a minha alma,
das lágrimas, os meus olhos,
da queda, os meus pés.
9 Andarei na presença do Senhor,
na terra dos viventes.
10 Eu cria, ainda que disse:
estive sobremodo aflito.
11 Eu disse na minha perturbação:
todo homem é mentiroso.
12 Que darei ao Senhor
por todos os seus benefícios para comigo?
13 Tomarei o cálice da salvação
e invocarei o nome do Senhor.
14 Cumprirei os meus votos ao Senhor,
na presença de todo o seu povo.
15 Preciosa é aos olhos do Senhor
a morte dos seus santos.
16 Senhor, deveras sou teu servo,
teu servo, filho da tua serva;
quebraste as minhas cadeias.
17 Oferecer-te-ei sacrifícios de ações de graças
e invocarei o nome do Senhor.
18 Cumprirei 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.
Aleluia!
1 I love Jehovah, because he heareth
My voice and my supplications.
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 compassed me,
And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me:
I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then called I upon the name of Jehovah:
O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5 Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous;
Yea, our God is merciful.
6 Jehovah preserveth the simple:
I was brought low, and he saved me.
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul;
For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death,
Mine eyes from tears,
And my feet from falling.
9 I will walk before Jehovah
In the land of the living.
10 I believe, for I will speak:
I was greatly afflicted:
11 I said in my haste,
All men are liars.
12 What shall I render unto Jehovah
For all his benefits toward me?
13 I will take the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of Jehovah.
14 I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,
Yea, in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah
Is the death of his saints.
16 O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant:
I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid;
Thou hast loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call upon the name of Jehovah.
18 I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,
Yea, in the presence of all his people,
19 In the courts of Jehovah’s house,
In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
Praise ye Jehovah.
1 I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
2 Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
3 The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: "LORD, save me!"
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
6 The LORD protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me.
7 Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
8 For you, LORD, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
9 that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 I trusted in the LORD when I said, "I am greatly afflicted";
11 in my alarm I said, "Everyone is a liar."
12 What shall I return to the LORD for all his goodness to me?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants.
16 Truly I am your servant, LORD; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains.
17 I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD.
18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courts of the house of the LORD — in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD. [^1]
