Psalm 114

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

114 I have loved, because the Lord will hear the voice of my prayer.

² Because he hath inclined his ear unto me: and in my days I will call upon him.

³ The sorrows of death have encompassed me: and the perils of hell have found me. I met with trouble and sorrow:

⁴ And I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.

⁵ The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.

⁶ The Lord is the keeper of little ones: I was little and he delivered me.

⁷ Turn, O my soul, into thy rest: for the Lord hath been bountiful to thee.

⁸ For he hath delivered my soul from death: my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

⁹ I will please the Lord in the land of the living.
