Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death. | ||||
 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 I love the LORD, because He hears My voice and my supplications. | 1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. | 1 I love the LORD because he hears my voice, my pleas for mercy. | 1 I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy. | 1 I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice and my supplications; | 2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live. | 2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. | 2 I will call on him as long as I live because he turns his ear toward me. | 2 Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live. | 2 For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during all my days. | 3 The cords of death encompassed me And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow. | 3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. | 3 The ropes of death became tangled around me. The horrors of the grave took hold of me. I experienced pain and agony. | 3 The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow. | 3 The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow: | 4 Then I called upon the name of the LORD: "O LORD, I beseech You, save my life!" | 4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. | 4 But I kept calling on the name of the LORD: "Please, LORD, rescue me!" | 4 Then I called on the name of Yahweh: "Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul." | 4 Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul. | 5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yes, our God is compassionate. | 5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. | 5 The LORD is merciful and righteous. Our God is compassionate. | 5 Yahweh is Gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful. | 5 Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. | 6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. | 6 The LORD protects defenseless people. When I was weak, he saved me. | 6 Yahweh preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me. | 6 Jehovah keepeth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me. | 7 Return to your rest, O my soul, For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. | 7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. | 7 Be at peace again, my soul, because the LORD has been good to you. | 7 Return to your rest, my soul, for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you. | 7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee. | 8 For You have rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, My feet from stumbling. | 8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. | 8 You saved me from death. You saved my eyes from tears [and] my feet from stumbling. | 8 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. | 8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling. | 9 I shall walk before the LORD In the land of the living. | 9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. | 9 I will walk in the LORD's presence in this world of the living. | 9 I will walk before Yahweh in the land of the living. | 9 I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living. | 10 I believed when I said, "I am greatly afflicted." | 10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: | 10 I kept my faith even when I said, "I am suffering terribly." | 10 I believed, therefore I said, "I was greatly afflicted." | 10 I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 11 I said in my alarm, "All men are liars." | 11 I said in my haste, All men are liars. | 11 I also said when I was panic-stricken, "Everyone is undependable." | 11 I said in my haste, "All men are liars." | 11 I said in my haste, All men are liars. | 12 What shall I render to the LORD For all His benefits toward me? | 12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? | 12 How can I repay the LORD for all the good that he has done for me? | 12 What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me? | 12 What shall I render unto Jehovah, for all his benefits toward me? | 13 I shall lift up the cup of salvation And call upon the name of the LORD. | 13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. | 13 I will take the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD. | 13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of Yahweh. | 13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah. | 14 I shall pay my vows to the LORD, Oh may it be in the presence of all His people. | 14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. | 14 I will keep my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people. | 14 I will pay my vows to Yahweh, yes, in the presence of all his people. | 14 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people. | 15 Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His godly ones. | 15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. | 15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful ones. | 15 Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of his saints. | 15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 16 O LORD, surely I am Your servant, I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid, You have loosed my bonds. | 16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. | 16 O LORD, I am indeed your servant. I am your servant, the son of your female servant. You have freed me from my chains. | 16 Yahweh, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains. | 16 Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. | 17 To You I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving, And call upon the name of the LORD. | 17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. | 17 I will bring a song of thanksgiving to you as a sacrifice.

Praise the LORD! | 19 In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. | 19 in the courtyards of the LORD's house, in the middle of Jerusalem. Hallelujah! | 19 in the courts of Yahweh's house, in the midst of you, Jerusalem. Praise Yah! | 19 In the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah! |
