|
6. The LORD H3068 preserveth H8104 the simple H6612 : I was brought low H1809 , and he helped H3467 me.
|
|

|
7. Return H7725 unto thy rest H4494 , O my soul H5315 ; for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath dealt bountifully H1580 with H5921 thee.
|
|

|
8. For H3588 thou hast delivered H2502 my soul H5315 from death H4480 H4194 , H853 mine eyes H5869 from H4480 tears H1832 , and H853 my feet H7272 from falling H4480 H1762 .

10. I continued believing even when I said, "I am completely ruined!"
|
10. I believed H539 , therefore H3588 have I H589 spoken H1696 : I was greatly H3966 afflicted H6031 :
|
|
11. Yes, even when I was upset and said, "There is no one I can trust!"
|
11. I H589 said H559 in my haste H2648 , All H3605 men H120 are liars H3576 .
|
|
12. What can I give the Lord for all that he has done for me?
|
12. What H4100 shall I render H7725 unto the LORD H3068 for all H3605 his benefits H8408 toward H5921 me?
|

|
13. I will take H5375 the cup H3563 of salvation H3444 , and call H7121 upon the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
14. I will give the Lord what I promised. I will go in front of all his people now.
|
14. I will pay H7999 my vows H5088 unto the LORD H3068 now H4994 in the presence H5048 of all H3605 his people H5971 .
|
|

|
15. Precious H3368 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 is the death H4194 of his saints H2623 .
|
|
16. Lord, I am your servant! Yes, I am your slave, as my mother was. You set me free from the chains of death.
|
16. O LORD H3068 , truly H577 I H589 am thy servant H5650 ; I H589 am thy servant H5650 , and the son H1121 of thine handmaid H519 : thou hast loosed H6605 my bonds H4147 .
