1 I love the Lord, because he hath heardmy voice and my supplications.
2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3 The sorrows of death compassed me,and the pains of hell gat hold upon me:I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then called I upon the name of the Lord;O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;yea, our God is merciful.
6 The Lord preserveth the simple:I was brought low, and he helped me.
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul;for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
