Psalms

1 - I am well pleased, because the Lord will hearken to the voice of my supplication.

2 Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him while I live.

3 The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me: I found affliction and sorrow.

4 Then I called on the name of the Lord: O Lord, deliver my soul.

5 The Lord is merciful and righteous; yea, our God has pity.

6 The Lord preserves *Gr. infants the simple: I was brought low, and he delivered me.

7 Return to thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with thee.

8 For he has delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

9 I shall be well-pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living.

10 Alleluia: 2 Co 4:13 I believed, wherefore I have spoken: but I was greatly afflicted.

11 And I said in mine amazement, Every man is a liar.

12 What shall I render to the Lord for all the things wherein he has rewarded me?

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.

14 I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

16 O Lord, I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast burst by bonds asunder.

17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of praise, and will call upon the name of the Lord.

18 I will pay my vows unto the Lord, in the presence of all his people,

19 in the courts of the Lord’s house, in the midst of thee, Jerusalem.
