1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard 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 sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD 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 the LORD in the land of the living.

10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.

12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,

19 In the courts of the LORD’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

1 Ek het lief, want die HERE hoor my stem, my smekinge,

2 want Hy het sy oor tot my geneig; daarom sal ek Hom in my dae aanroep.

3 Bande van die dood het my omring, en angste van die doderyk het my getref; ek het benoudheid en kommer gevind.

4 Maar ek het die Naam van die HERE aangeroep: Ag, HERE, red my siel.

5 Die HERE is genadig en regverdig, en onse God is 'n ontfermer.

6 Die HERE bewaar die eenvoudiges; ek het swak geword, maar Hy het my gehelp.

7 My siel, keer terug tot jou rus; want die HERE het goed aan jou gedoen.

8 Want U het my siel gered van die dood, my oog van trane, my voet van struikeling.

9 Ek sal wandel voor die aangesig van die HERE in die lande van die lewendes.

10 Ek het geglo toe ek gespreek het: Ek is diep neergebuig.

11 k het in my angs gesê: Alle mense is leuenaars.

12 Wat sal ek die HERE vergeld vir al sy weldade aan my?

13 Ek sal die beker van verlossinge opneem en die Naam van die HERE aanroep.

14 My geloftes sal ek aan die HERE betaal in die teenwoordigheid van sy ganse volk.

15 Kosbaar is in die oë van die HERE die dood van sy gunsgenote.

16 Ag, HERE, sekerlik, ek is u kneg, ek is u kneg, die seun van u diensmaagd; U het my bande losgemaak.

17 Ek sal U 'n offer van danksegging bring en die Naam van die HERE aanroep.

18 Ek sal my geloftes aan die HERE betaal in die teenwoordigheid van sy ganse volk,

19 in die voorhowe van die huis van die HERE, binne-in jou, o Jerusalem! Halleluja!
