As my life was fading away,(A)
I remembered the Lord,(B)
and my prayer came to you,(C)
to your holy temple.(D)

but as for me, I will sacrifice(G) to you
with a voice of thanksgiving.(H)
I will fulfil(I) what I have vowed.
Salvation[a] belongs to the Lord.(J)

    I will say, ‘Salvation(H) comes from the Lord.’”
