1Alleluia. I am well pleased, because the Lord will hearken to the voice of my supplication.
1When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon him while I live.
2Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me: I found affliction and sorrow.
3The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4Then I called on the name of the Lord: O Lord, deliver my soul.
4The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
5The Lord is merciful and righteous; yea, our God has pity.
5What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6The Lord preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he delivered me.
6Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
7Return to thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with thee.
7Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8For he has delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
8Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
