Chapter 114

The prayer of a just man in tribulation, with confidence and gratitude towards God.

1. 1

   Alleluia. I have loved, because our Lord will hear the voice of my prayer.

2. 2

   Because he hath inclined his ear to me: and in my days I will invocate.

3. 3

   The sorrows of death have compassed me: and the perils of hell have found me. I have found tribulation and sorrow:

4. 4

   and I invocated the name of our Lord. O Lord deliver my soul:

5. 5

   our Lord is merciful, and just, and our God doth mercy.

6. 6

   Our Lord keepeth little ones: I was humbled, and he hath delivered me.

7. 7

   Turn o my soul into thy rest: because our Lord hath done good to thee.

8. 8

   Because he hath delivered my soul from death: mine eyes from tears, my feet from sliding.

9. 9

   I will please our Lord in the country of the living.
