While [a]I was (A)fainting away,
I (B)remembered the Lord,
And my (C)prayer came to You,
Into (D)Your holy temple.
Those who (E)are followers of worthless [b]idols
Abandon their faithfulness,
But I will (F)sacrifice to You
With a voice of thanksgiving.
That which I have vowed I will (G)pay.
(H)Salvation is from the Lord.”
