⁵ The Eternal is full of grace and naturally just;
    our God is compassionate and merciful.
⁶ And the Eternal watches over the naive.
    Whenever I was knocked down, He reached down and saved me.
⁷ O my soul! Return and relax. Come to your true rest,
    for the Eternal has showered you with His favor.

⁸ God, You alone rescued my soul from the grips of death,
    my eyes from weeping,
    and my feet from slipping.
⁹ I will come before the Eternal
    as long as I journey in the land of the living.
¹⁰ I believed Your promise; therefore I spoke,
    “I am in deep trouble.”
¹¹ In my confusion I blurted out,
    “All people are liars!”

¹² How will I pay back the Eternal
    for all His graciousness toward me?
¹³ I will raise the cup of deliverance
    and call out the name of the Eternal.
¹⁴ I will fulfill the promises I made to Him
    here as a witness to all His people.

¹⁵ Precious in the eyes of the Eternal
    are the deaths of those who follow after Him.
¹⁶ O Eternal One, You know I am Your servant.
    I am Your servant, a child of Your maidservant, devoted to You;
    You have cut me loose from the chains of death that bind me.
¹⁷ And I come, eager to offer a sacrifice of gratitude
    and call on the name of the Eternal.
¹⁸ I will fulfill the promises I made to Him
    here as a witness to all His people
¹⁹ In the courts of the Eternal’s temple,
    among the people of God’s city, O Jerusalem.
Praise the Eternal!
