I Love the Lord, because my voiceand prayer heard hath he: [verse 2] When in my days I call'd on him,he bow'd his ear to me. [verse 3] Even when the snares of cruel deathabout beset me round:When pains of hell me caught, and whenI wo and sorrow found:
[verse 4] Upon the Name of God my Lordthen did I call, and say,Deliver thou my soul, O Lord,I do thee humbly pray. [verse 5] The Lord is very merciful,and just he is also:And in our God compassiondoth plentifully flow.
[verse 6] The Lord in safety doth preserveall those that simple be:I was in woful misery,and he delivered me.

[verse 7] And now my soul, sith thou art s••fe,return unto thy rest:For largely, lo, the Lord to theehis bounty hath exprest.
[verse 8] Because thou hast deliveredmy soul from deadly thrall:My moistned eyes from mournful tears,my sliding feet from fall: [verse 9] Before the Lord I in the landof life will walk therefore: [verse 10] I did beleeve, therefore I spake,for I was troubled sore.
The second part.
[verse 11] I said in my distress and fear,That all men hars be: [verse 12] What shall I pay the Lord for allhis benefits to me? [verse 13] The wholsom cup of saving healthI thankfully will take:And on the Lords Name I will callwhen I my prayer make.
[verse 14] I to the Lord will pay the vowsthat I to him behight:Yea, even at this present timein all his peoples sight. [verse 15] Right dear and precious in his sightthe Lord doth ay esteemThe death of all his holy ones,what ever men do deem,
[verse 16] Thy servant, Lord, thy servant, lo,I do myself confess,Son of thy hand-maid: thou hast brokethe bonds of my distress. [verse 17] And I will offer up to theea sacrifice of praise:And I will call upon the Nameof God the Lord always.
[verse 18] I to the Lord will pay the vowsthat I have him behight,Yea, even at this present timein all his peoples sight. [verse 19] Yea, in the courts of Gods own house,and in the midst of thee,O thou Jerusalem, I say;wherefore the Lord praise ye.
