1
I have loved, because the Lord will hear the voice of my prayer.
2
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me: and in my days I will call upon him.
3
The sorrows of death have compassed me: and the perils of hell have found me. I met with trouble and sorrow:
4
And I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.
5
The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.
6
The Lord is the keeper of little ones: I was humbled, and he delivered me.
7
Turn, O my soul, into thy rest: for the Lord hath been bountiful to thee.
8
For he hath delivered my soul from death: my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
9
I will please the Lord in the land of the living.
