Psalms 114
1 Alleluia.
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
aGr. 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.
