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.
|
|
10
|
I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.
|
|
11
|
I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.
|
|
12
|
What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things that he hath rendered to me?
|
|
13
|
I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
|
|
14
|
I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people:
|
|
15
|
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
|
|
16
|
O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:
|
|
17
|
I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
|
|
18
|
I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people:
|
|
19
|
In the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
