1 I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my supplications.

Amo a Jehová, pues ha escuchado La voz de mis súplicas;

2 B ecause He has inclined His ear to me, therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live.

Porque ha inclinado a mí su oído Cuantas veces le he invocado en mi vida.

3 T he cords and sorrows of death were around me, and the terrors of Sheol (the place of the dead) had laid hold of me; I suffered anguish and grief (trouble and sorrow).

Me rodearon ligaduras de muerte, Me alcanzaron las angustias del Seol; En angustia y dolor me encontraba yo.

4 T hen called I upon the name of the Lord: O Lord, I beseech You, save my life and deliver me!

Entonces invoqué el nombre de Jehová, diciendo: Oh Jehová, te ruego que salves mi vida.

5 G racious is the Lord, and righteous; yes, our God is merciful.

Clemente es Jehová, y justo; Sí, misericordioso es nuestro Dios.

6 T he Lord preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He helped and saved me.

Jehová guarda a los sencillos; Estaba yo postrado, y me salvó.

7 R eturn to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

Recobra, oh alma mía, tu calma, Porque Jehová te ha procurado bienes.

8 F or You have delivered my life from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling and falling.

Pues tú has librado mi alma de la muerte, Mis ojos de las lágrimas, Y mis pies de resbalar.

9 I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.

Andaré delante de Jehová En la tierra de los vivientes.

10 I believed (trusted in, relied on, and clung to my God), and therefore have I spoken, I am greatly afflicted.

Mantuve mi fe, aun cuando decía: Estoy afligido en gran manera.

11 I said in my haste, All men are deceitful and liars.

Y dije en mi apresuramiento: Todo hombre es mentiroso.

12 W hat shall I render to the Lord for all His benefits toward me?

¿Qué pagaré a Jehová Por todos sus beneficios para conmigo?

13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and deliverance and call on the name of the Lord.

Levantaré la copa de la salvación, E invocaré el nombre de Jehová.

14 I will pay my vows to the Lord, yes, in the presence of all His people.

Ahora cumpliré mis votos a Jehová Delante de todo su pueblo.

15 P recious (important and no light matter) in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints (His loving ones).

Estimada es a los ojos de Jehová La muerte de sus santos.

16 O Lord, truly I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid; You have loosed my bonds.

Oh Jehová, ciertamente yo soy tu siervo, Siervo tuyo soy, hijo de tu sierva; Tú sueltas mis ligaduras.

17 I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving and will call on the name of the Lord.

Te ofreceré sacrificio de alabanza, E invocaré el nombre de Jehová.

18 I will pay my vows to the Lord, yes, in the presence of all His people,

A Jehová cumpliré ahora mis votos Delante de todo su pueblo,

19 I n the courts of the Lord’s house—in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)

En los atrios de la casa de Jehová, En medio de ti, oh Jerusalén. Aleluya.
