PSALM CXVI.

By R. F. C.

1. I LOVE the Lord because he heard my cry, My supplications which I raised on high.
2. Because he hath to me inclined his ear, Long as I live, my voice he still shall hear.
3. Death's griefs and pains of hell did me surround, On every side trouble and grief I found.
4. Then called I on the name of the Most High, Deliver me, O Lord, O, hear my cry.
5. The Lord is gracious, righteous are his ways, Our God is merciful, deserving praise.
6. The simple he preserves; I was brought low, He helped me from the pit of death and woe.
7. Then, O my soul, return unto thy rest, For thee the Lord has bountifully blest.
8. For thou hast saved my soul from death's dark night, Mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling quite.
9. With living men I'll walk before the Lord,
10. I spoke because that I believed his word.
11. I was afflicted, and I said in haste, All men are liars, all the human race.
12. What shall I render, O my God, to thee, For all the benefits vouchsafed to me?
13. The cup of thy salvation I will take, And still to thee will my petition make.
14. Unto the Lord I now my vows will pay, Before the people of his choice to-day.
15. The saints of God are ever his delight, Even their death is precious in his sight.
16. O, Lord, I am thy servant, and the son Of thy handmaid, for thou hast loosed my bonds.
17. Thanksgiving's sacrifice I'll offer thee, And call upon his name who rescued me.
18. Unto the Lord I now will pay my vows, In presence of his people, in his house,
19. In thee, Jerusalem, with sweet accord. Praise ye the Lord, his saints, praise ye the Lord!
R. F. C.
