Psalms. 115. (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 by 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.
