Because he hath inclined his ear unto me: and in my days I will call upon him.

3 אֲפָפ֤וּנִי ׀ חֶבְלֵי־מָ֗וֶת וּמְצָרֵ֣י שְׁאֹ֣ול מְצָא֑וּנִי צָרָ֖ה וְיָגֹ֣ון אֶמְצָֽא׃ (Sheol h7585)

The sorrows of death have encompassed me: and the perils of hell have found me. I met with trouble and sorrow: (Sheol h7585)

And I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.

The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.

The Lord is the keeper of little ones: I was little and he delivered me.

Turn, O my soul, into thy rest: for the Lord hath been bountiful to thee.

8 כִּ֤י חִלַּ֥צְתָּ נַפְשִׁ֗י מִ֫מָּ֥וֶת אֶת־עֵינִ֥י מִן־דִּמְעָ֑ה אֶת־רַגְלִ֥י מִדֶּֽחִי׃

For he hath delivered my soul from death: my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

I will please the Lord in the land of the living.

10 הֶ֭אֱמַנְתִּי כִּ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר אֲ֝נִ֗י עָנִ֥יתִי מְאֹֽד׃

I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.

11 אֲ֭נִי אָמַ֣רְתִּי בְחָפְזִ֑י כָּֽל־הָאָדָ֥ם כֹּזֵֽב׃

I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.

12 מָֽה־אָשִׁ֥יב לַיהוָ֑ה כָּֽל־תַּגְמוּלֹ֥והִי עָלָֽי׃

What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things he hath rendered unto me?

13 כֹּוס־יְשׁוּעֹ֥ות אֶשָּׂ֑א וּבְשֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָֽא׃

I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

14 נְ֭דָרַי לַיהוָ֣ה אֲשַׁלֵּ֑ם נֶגְדָה־נָּ֝֗א לְכָל־עַמֹּֽו׃

I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people:

15 יָ֭קָר בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה הַ֝מָּ֗וְתָה לַחֲסִידָֽיו׃

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

16 אֽ͏ָנָּ֣ה יְהוָה֮ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֪י עַ֫בְדֶּ֥ךָ אֲ‍ֽנִי־עַ֭בְדְּךָ בֶּן־אֲמָתֶ֑ךָ פִּ֝תַּ֗חְתָּ לְמֹוסֵרָֽי׃

O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:

17 לְֽךָ־אֶ֭זְבַּח זֶ֣בַח תֹּודָ֑ה וּבְשֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָֽא׃

I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

In the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
