| Chapter 114 |
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 encompassed 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 little 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.
