| 1 | <V 114:1>Alleluia. I have loved: therefore, the Lord will heed the voice of my prayer. | I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. | I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. | |
| 2 | <V 114:2>For he has inclined his ear to me. And in my days, I will call upon him. | Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live. | Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. | |
| 3 | <V 114:3>The sorrows of death have surrounded me, and the perils of Hell have found me. I have found tribulation and sorrow. | The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish. | The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow. | |
| 4 | <V 114:4>And so, I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, free my soul. | Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, I pray, deliver my soul!” | Then I called on the name of the LORD: “LORD, save me!” | |

| 6 | <V 114:6>The Lord is the keeper of little ones. I was humbled, and he freed me. | The LORD preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me. | The LORD protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me. | |
| 7 | <V 114:7>Turn again, my soul, to your rest. For the Lord has done good to you. | Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. | Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. | |
| 8 | <V 114:8>For he has rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from slipping. | For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling; | For you, LORD, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling, | |
| 9 | <V 114:9>I will please the Lord in the land of the living. | I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. | that I may walk before the LORD in the land of the living. | |
| 10 | <V 115:1>Alleluia. I had confidence, because of what I was saying, but then I was greatly humbled. | I believed, even when I spoke: “I am greatly afflicted”; | I trusted in the LORD when I said, “I am greatly afflicted|; | |
| 11 | <V 115:2>I said in my excess, “Every man is a liar.” | I said in my alarm, “All mankind are liars.” | in my alarm I said, “Everyone is a liar.” | |
| 12 | <V 115:3>What shall I repay to the Lord, for all the things that he has repaid to me? | What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits to me? | What shall I return to the LORD for all his goodness to me? | |
| 13 | <V 115:4>I will take up the cup of salvation, and I will call upon the name of the Lord. | I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD, | I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD. | |
| 14 | <V 115:5>I will repay my vows to the Lord, in the sight of all his people. | I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people. | I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people. | |
| 15 | <V 115:6>Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his holy ones. | Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. | Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants. | |
| 16 | <V 115:7>O Lord, because I am your servant, your servant and the son of your handmaid, you have broken my bonds. | O LORD, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds. | Truly I am your servant, LORD; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains. | |
| 17 | <V 115:8>I will sacrifice to you the sacrifice of praise, and I will invoke the name of the Lord. | I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD. | I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the LORD. | |
| 18 | <V 115:9>I will repay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people, | I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people, | I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people, | |
| 19 | <V 115:10>in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem. | in the courts of the house of the LORD, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD! | in the courts of the house of the LORD— in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD. | |
