Psalm 114
|
(Alleluia.)
1
My heart is aflame, so graciously the Lord listens to my entreaty;
2
the Lord, who grants me audience when I invoke his name.
3
Death’s noose about me, caught in the snares of the grave, ever I found distress and grief at my side,
4
till I called upon the Lord, Save me, Lord, in my peril.
5
Merciful the Lord our God is, and just, and full of pity;
6
he cares for simple hearts, and to me, when I lay humbled, he brought deliverance.
7
Return, my soul, where thy peace lies; the Lord has dealt kindly with thee;
8
he has saved my life from peril, banished my tears, kept my feet from falling.
9
Mine to walk at ease, enjoying the Lord’s presence, in the land of the living.
