Before the first verse

*Alleluia.* This title is often repeated, because the praise of God is both the dignity of works and the price of labours, that is, it is both the merit and the reward. The Prophet, delivered from the pit of sins and set upon the rock, first gives thanks because he was heard, and says that he has called upon him against all perils. This psalm is the consolation of the faithful against the sorrows of the world.

1I have loved, because the Lord will hear the voice of my prayer.
2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me: and in my days I will call upon him.
3The sorrows of death have compassed me: and the perils of hell have found me. I met with trouble and sorrow:
4And I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.
5The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.
6The Lord is the keeper of little ones: I was humbled, and he delivered me.
7Turn, O my soul, into thy rest: for the Lord hath been bountiful to thee.
8For he hath delivered my soul from death: my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
9I will please the Lord in the land of the living.
