:
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. 9I will please the Lord in the land of the living.
