114
1 Alleluia.
I am well pleased, because the Lord will hearken
To the voice of my supplication.
2 Because he has inclined his ear to me,
Therefore will I call upon him while I live.
3 The pangs of death compassed me;
The dangers of hell found me:
I found affliction and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the Lord:
O Lord, deliver my soul.
5 The Lord is merciful and righteous;
Yea, our God has pity.
6 The Lord preserves the simple:
I was brought low, and he delivered me.
7 Return to thy rest, O my soul;
For the Lord has dealt bountifully with thee.
8 For he has delivered my soul from death,
Mine eyes from tears,
And my feet from falling.
9 I shall be well-pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living.
