1Alleluia. I am well pleased, because the Lord will hearken to the voice of my supplication.
1(115) Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your mercy and your truth;
2Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him while I live.
2lest at any time the nations should say, Where is their God?
3The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me: I found affliction and sorrow.
3But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatever he has pleased.
4Then I called on the name of the Lord: O Lord, deliver my soul.
4The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
5The Lord is merciful and righteous; yea, our God has pity.
5They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see:
6The Lord preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he delivered me.
6they have ears, but they can’t hear; they have noses, but they can’t smell;
7Return to thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with thee.
7they have hands, but they can’t handle; they have feet, but they can’t walk: they can’t speak through their throat.
8For he has delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
8Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.
9I shall be well-pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living.
9The house of Israel trusts in the Lord: he is their helper and defender.
