3 The sorrowes of death compassed me, and the paines of hell gate hold vpon me: I found trouble and sorrow.3

4 Then called I vpon the Name of the Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee deliuer my soule.

5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous: yea our God is mercifull.

6 The Lord preserueth the simple: I was brought low, and hee helped me.

7 Returne vnto thy rest, O my soule: for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.

8 For thou hast deliuered my soule from death, mine eyes from teares, and my feete from falling.

9 I wil walke before the Lord: in the land of the liuing.

10 I beleeued, therfore haue I spoken: I was greatly afflicted.10
