✧1I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications. Copy✧2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon [him] as long as I live. Copy✧3The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Copy✧4Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. Copy✧5Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God [is] merciful. Copy✧6The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. Copy✧7Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. Copy✧8For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, [and] my feet from falling. Copy✧9I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
