1(116) Alleluia. I am well pleased, because the Lord will listen to the voice of my supplication.
1Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.
2Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him while I live.
2Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
3The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me: I found affliction and sorrow.
3But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
4Then I called on the name of the Lord: O Lord, deliver my soul.
4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
5The Lord is merciful and righteous; yes, our God has pity.
5They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6The Lord preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he delivered me.
6They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7Return to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
7They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8For he has delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
8They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
9I shall be well-pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living. (115) Alleluia.
9O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
10I believed, therefore I have spoken: but I was greatly afflicted.
10O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
11And I said in my amazement, Every man is a liar.
11Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
12What shall I render to the Lord for all the things wherein he has rewarded me?
12The Lord hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
13I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
13He will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
14I will pay my vows to the Lord , in the presence of all his people.
14The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
15Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
15Ye are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth.
16O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid: you have burst my bonds asunder.
16The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17I will offer to you the sacrifice of praise, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
17The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.
18I will pay my vows to the Lord, in the presence of all his people,
18But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord.
