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 love Jehovah because he hears my voice when I pray.2 I will call on him as long as I live because he turns his ear toward me listens to me.3 The ropes of death became tangled around me. The fear of the grave took hold of me. I experienced pain and agony.4 But I called on the name of Jehovah: »Please, Jehovah, deliver rescue me!«5 Jehovah is gracious and righteous. Our God is compassionate merciful.6 Jehovah protects defenseless people simple ones. When I was weak, he saved me.7 I will be at peace again because Jehovah has been good to you.8 You saved me from death. You saved my eyes from tears and my feet from stumbling.9 I will walk in Jehovah’s presence in the land of the living.10 I kept my faith even when I said: I am suffering terribly.11 I also said when I was panic-stricken: »All men are liars.«12 How can I repay Jehovah for all the good that he has done for me?13 I will take the cup of salvation and call on the name of Jehovah.14 I will keep my vows to Jehovah in the presence of all his people.15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his godly holy ones.16 O Jehovah, I am indeed your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains.17 I will bring a song of thanksgiving to you as a sacrifice. I will call on the name of Jehovah.18 I will keep my vows to Jehovah in the presence of all his people,19 in the courtyards of Jehovah’s house, in the middle of Jerusalem. Praise Jehovah!
