Psalm 114

¹ Alleluia.

I am well-pleased, because the Lord will hearken

to the voice of my supplication.

² Because he hath inclined his ear to me,

therefore will I call upon him while I live.

³ The pangs of death compassed me;

the dangers of hell found me:

I found affliction and sorrow.

⁴ Then I called on the name of the Lord:

O Lord, deliver my soul.

⁵ The Lord is merciful and righteous;

yea, our God hath pity.

⁶ The Lord preserveth ^[1]the simple:

I was brought low, and he delivered me.

⁷ Return to thy rest, O my soul;

for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.

⁸ For he hath delivered my soul from death,

mine eyes from tears,

and my feet from falling.

⁹ I shall be well pleasing before the Lord in the land of the living.
