Psalms, 114
The prayer of a just man in affliction, with a lively confidence in God.
Dilexi.
[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. •
