1 I haue loued: because God hath hearde my voyce and my prayers. 2 Because he hath enclined his eare vnto me: therfore I wyll call vpon hym as long as I lyue. 3 The snares of death compassed me rounde about: and the paynes of hell toke holde on me. (116:4) I founde anguishe and heauinesse, 4 but I called vpon the name of God: saying O God, I beseche thee deliuer my soule 5 Gratious is God and ryghteous: our Lorde is mercifull. 6 God gardeth the simple: I was brought to the extremitie, and he preserued me. 7 Returne O my soule vnto thy rest: for God hath rewarded thee. 8 For thou O Lorde hast deliuered my soule from death: myne eyes from teares, and my feete from fallyng. 9 I wyll walke before the face of God: in the lande of the lyuyng.
