[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.
