⁵ The Lord is ·kind [gracious] and ·does what is right [righteous];
    our God is ·merciful [compassionate; Ex. 34:6–7].
⁶ The Lord ·watches over [keeps; guards] the ·foolish [immature; simpleminded];
    when I was ·helpless [brought low], he ·saved me [gave me victory].
⁷ I said to myself, “·Relax [^LReturn, my soul/life to your rest],
    because the Lord ·takes care of you [treats you well].”
⁸ Lord, you ·saved [rescued] me from death.
    ·You stopped my eyes from crying [^L…and my eyes from tears];
    ·you kept me from being defeated [^L…my feet from stumbling].
⁹ So I will walk ·with [before; in the presence of] the Lord
    in the land of the living [^Cas opposed to the grave].
¹⁰ I ·believed [trusted], so I said,
    “I am ·completely ruined [afflicted greatly; 2 Cor. 4:13].”
¹¹ In my ·distress [worry] I said,
    “All people are liars [Rom. 3:4].”

¹² What can I ·give [^Lreturn to] the Lord
    for all the ·good things [benefits] he has given to me?
¹³ I will lift up the cup of salvation,
    and I will pray ·to [^Lin the name of] the Lord.
¹⁴ I will ·give the Lord what I promised [pay my vow to the Lord]
    in front of all his people.

¹⁵ The death of ·one that belongs to the Lord [his loyal ones/saints]
    is precious in his ·sight [^Leyes].
¹⁶ Lord, I am your servant;
    I am your servant and the son of your female servant.
    You have ·freed me from [loosened] my chains.
¹⁷ I will give you ·an offering to show thanks to you [a thanksgiving offering],
    and I will pray ·to [^Lin the name of] the Lord.
¹⁸ I will ·give the Lord what I promised [pay my vow to the Lord]
    in front of all his people,
¹⁹ in the ·Temple courtyards [^Lcourtyards of the house of the Lord]
    in your midst, Jerusalem.

Praise the Lord!
