1 Alleluia. I have loved: therefore, the Lord will heed the voice of my prayer.
2 For he has inclined his ear to me. And in my days, I will call upon him.
3 The sorrows of death have surrounded me, and the perils of Hell have found me. I have found tribulation and sorrow.
4 And so, I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, free my soul.
5 Merciful is the Lord, and just. And our God is compassionate.
