I stayed faithful, though bedeviled,

and despite a ton of bad luck,

Despite giving up on the human race,

saying, “They’re all liars and cheats.”

12–19What can I give back to God

for the blessings he’s poured out on me?

I’ll lift high the cup of salvation—a toast to God!

I’ll pray in the name of God;

I’ll complete what I promised God I’d do,

and I’ll do it together with his people.

When they arrive at the gates of death,

God welcomes those who love him.

Oh, God, here I am, your servant,

your faithful servant: set me free for your service!

I’m ready to offer the thanksgiving sacrifice

and pray in the name of God.

I’ll complete what I promised God I’d do,

and I’ll do it in company with his people,

In the place of worship, in God’s house,

in Jerusalem, God’s city.

Hallelujah!

ESVEnglish Standard Version

I believed, even when I spoke:

“I am greatly afflicted”;

I said in my alarm,

“All mankind are liars.”

What shall I render to the Lord

for all his benefits to me?

I will lift up the cup of salvation

and call on the name of the Lord,

I will pay my vows to the Lord

in the presence of all his people.

Precious in the sight of the Lord

is the death of his saints.

O Lord, I am your servant;

I am your servant, the son of your maidservant.

You have loosed my bonds.

I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving

and call on the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows to the Lord

in the presence of all his people,

in the courts of the house of the Lord,

in your midst, O Jerusalem.

Praise the Lord!

NIVNew International Version (2011)

I trusted in the Lord when I said,

“I am greatly afflicted”;

in my alarm I said,

“Everyone is a liar.”

What shall I return to the Lord

for all his goodness to me?

I will lift up the cup of salvation

and call on the name of the Lord.

I will fulfill my vows to the Lord

in the presence of all his people.

Precious in the sight of the Lord

is the death of his faithful servants.

Truly I am your servant, Lord;

I serve you just as my mother did;

you have freed me from my chains.

I will sacrifice a thank offering to you

and call on the name of the Lord.

I will fulfill my vows to the Lord

in the presence of all his people,

in the courts of the house of the Lord—

in your midst, Jerusalem.

Praise the Lord.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

I believed, even when I said,

“I am severely oppressed.”

In my alarm I said,

“Everyone is a liar.”

How can I repay the Lord

for all the good he has done for me?

I will take the cup of salvation

and call on the name of the Lord.

I will fulfill my vows to the Lord

in the presence of all his people.

The death of his faithful ones

is valuable in the Lord’s sight.

Lord, I am indeed your servant;

I am your servant, the son of your female servant.

You have loosened my bonds.

I will offer you a thanksgiving sacrifice

and call on the name of the Lord.

I will fulfill my vows to the Lord

in the presence of all his people,

in the courts of the Lord’s house—

within you, Jerusalem.

Hallelujah!

NLTNew Living Translation

I believed in you, so I said,

“I am deeply troubled, Lord.”

In my anxiety I cried out to you,

“These people are all liars!”

What can I offer the Lord

for all he has done for me?

I will lift up the cup of salvation

and praise the Lord’s name for saving me.

I will keep my promises to the Lord

in the presence of all his people.

The Lord cares deeply

when his loved ones die.

O Lord, I am your servant;

yes, I am your servant, born into your household;

you have freed me from my chains.

I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving

and call on the name of the Lord.

I will fulfill my vows to the Lord

in the presence of all his people—

in the house of the Lord

in the heart of Jerusalem.

Praise the Lord!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

I believed when I spoke,

“I am afflicted greatly.”

I said in my haste,

“Everyone is a liar.”

What shall I give back to Yahweh

for all his benefits to me?

I will lift up the cup of salvation

and proclaim the name of Yahweh.

I will pay my vows made to Yahweh

in the presence of all his people.

Costly in Yahweh’s view is

the death of his faithful ones.

Ah, Yahweh, I am indeed your servant;

I am your servant, the child of your maidservant.

You have loosed my bonds.

I will offer to you a sacrifice of thanksgiving,

and proclaim the name of Yahweh.

I will pay my vows made to Yahweh

in the presence of all his people,

in the courts of the house of Yahweh,

in the midst of you, O Jerusalem.

Praise Yah!

I believed, therefore have I spoken:

I was greatly afflicted:

I said in my haste,

All men are liars.

What shall I render unto the Lord

For all his benefits toward me?

I will take the cup of salvation,

And call upon the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows unto the Lord

Now in the presence of all his people.

Precious in the sight of the Lord

Is the death of his saints.

O Lord, truly I am thy servant;

I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid:

Thou hast loosed my bonds.

I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

And will call upon the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows unto the Lord

Now in the presence of all his people,

In the courts of the Lord’s house,

In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

Praise ye the Lord.
