1 Amo a Jeová, porque ele ouve A minha voz e as minhas súplicas.

2 Porque inclinou para mim o seu ouvido, Invocá-lo-ei enquanto viver.

3 Cercaram-me os laços da morte, E as angústias de Cheol se apoderaram de mim; Caí na tribulação e tristeza.

4 Então invoquei o nome de Jeová; Ó Jeová, livra, eu te rogo, a minha alma.

5 Compassivo e justo é Jeová; Misericordioso é o nosso Deus.

6 Jeová preserva os simples; Achava-me abatido, e ele me salvou.

7 Volta, minha alma, ao teu repouso, Porque Jeová tem sido liberal para contigo.

8 Pois livraste da morte a minha alma, Das lágrimas os meus olhos, Da queda os meus pés.

9 Andarei na presença de Jeová, Na terra dos viventes.

10 Creio, por isso devo falar; Eu estive sobremaneira aflito.

11 Eu disse em meu sobressalto: Todos os homens são mentirosos.

12 Que darei a Jeová Por todos os seus benefícios para comigo?

13 Tomarei o cálice da salvação, E invocarei o nome de Jeová.

14 Pagarei a Jeová os meus votos, Na presença de todo o seu povo.

15 Preciosa é aos olhos de Jeová A morte dos seus santos.

16 Ó Jeová, deveras sou eu teu servo, Eu sou o teu servo, filho da tua serva: Soltaste as minhas cadeias.

17 Oferecer-te-ei sacrifícios de ação de graças, E invocarei o nome de Jeová.

18 Pagarei a Jeová os meus votos, Na presença de todo o seu povo,

19 Nos átrios da casa de Jeová, No meio de ti, ó Jerusalém. Louvai a Jeová.

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.
