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.
Pateicība par palīdzību bēdu laikā
1 Mīlu viņu, jo izdzirda Kungs
manu balsi un manu gaušanos,
2 viņš man pievērsa savu ausi –
visu mūžu es saukšu:
3 turēja mani nāves saites,
šeola cilpas sagrāba mani,
es sastapu postu un likstas!
4 Tad es piesaucu Kunga vārdu:
ak, mans Kungs, jel glāb mani! –
5 Žēlīgs ir Kungs un taisns,
jā, mūsu Dievs ir līdzcietīgs.
6 Kungs sarga vientiešus –
es biju pagalam, bet viņš mani glāba!
7 Dvēsele, topi atkal rāma,
jo Kungs dāsns pret tevi!
8 Tu manu dvēseli glābi no nāves,
manas acis no asarām
un manas kājas no klupšanas,
9 ka varu staigāt Kunga priekšā dzīvo zemē!
10 Es ticēju arī, kad teicu:
ak, cik es piemeklēts! –
11 Es sacīju savā mulsumā:
ik cilvēks viļ! –
12 Kā es lai atlīdzinu savam Kungam
visu viņa dāsnumu pret mani?!
13 Pestīšanas kausu es celšu,
Kunga vārdu es piesaukšu,
14 ko solījis Kungam, es samaksāšu
visas viņa tautas priekšā!
15 Dārgi atprasa Kungs
par viņa svētīto nāvi!
16 Ak, Kungs, es tavs kalps,
es tavs kalps, tavas kalpones dēls,
tu esi noņēmis manas važas!
17 Tev es upurēšu pateicības upuri,
Kunga vārdu es piesaukšu,
18 ko solījis Kungam, es samaksāšu
visas viņa tautas priekšā –
19 Kunga nama pagalmos,
tavā viducī, Jeruzāleme!
Slavējiet Kungu!
