Psalms

Chapter 115

  1. 1

    My heart is aflame, so graciously the Lord listens to my entreaty;

  2. 2

    the Lord, who grants me audience when I invoke his name.

  3. 3

    Death’s noose about me, caught in the snares of the grave, ever I found distress and grief at my side,

  4. 4

    till I called upon the Lord, Save me, Lord, in my peril.

  5. 5

    Merciful the Lord our God is, and just, and full of pity;

  6. 6

    he cares for simple hearts, and to me, when I lay humbled, he brought deliverance.

  7. 7

    Return, my soul, where thy peace lies; the Lord has dealt kindly with thee;

  8. 8

    he has saved my life from peril, banished my tears, kept my feet from falling.

  9. 9

    Mine to walk at ease, enjoying the Lord’s presence, in the land of the living.
