Masoretic-derived · highlighted where altered
1Alleluia. I believed, wherefore I have spoken: but I was greatly afflicted.
1Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.
2And I said in mine amazement, Every man is a liar.
2Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
3What shall I render to the Lord for all the things wherein he has rewarded me?
3But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
4I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people.
4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
6Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
6They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7O Lord, I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast burst my bonds asunder.
7They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8I will offer to thee the sacrifice of praise, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
8They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
9I will pay my vows unto the Lord, in the presence of all his people,
9O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
10in the courts of the Lord's house , in the midst of thee, Jerusalem.
10O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
