[verse 4] Upon the Name of God my Lord then did I call, and say:
Deliver thou my soule, O Lord, I do thee humbly pray.
[verse 5] The Lord is very gracious, and righteous is he:

[verse 7] And now, my soul, sith thou art safe, returne unto thy rest:
For largely lo, the Lord to thee his bounty hath exprest.
[verse 8] Because my soul from threatned death delivered is by thee;
By thee mine eies from teares, my feet from falls delivered be.
[verse 9] Before the Lord, even in the land of life now walk will I:
[verse 10] This I beleev'd, and therefore spake, though grieved heavily.

[verse 11] I said in my distresse and feare, that all men liars be;
[verse 12] What shall I pay the Lord for all his benefits to me?
[verse 13]
