(116) Alleluia. I am well pleased, because the Lord will listen to the voice of my supplication.
Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him while I live.
The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me: I found affliction and sorrow.
Then I called on the name of the Lord: O Lord, deliver my soul.
The Lord is merciful and righteous; yes, our God has pity.
The Lord preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he delivered me.
Return to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
For he has delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
I shall be well-pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living. (115) Alleluia.
I believed, therefore I have spoken: but I was greatly afflicted.
And I said in my amazement, Every man is a liar.
What shall I render to the Lord for all the things wherein he has rewarded me?
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have burst my bonds asunder.
I will offer to you the sacrifice of praise, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people,
in the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of you, Jerusalem.
