The LORD Has Heard My Voice

1I am wel pleased, yt the LORDE hath herde ye voyce of my prayer.

2That he hath enclyned his eare vnto me, therfore wil I call vpo him as longe as I lyue.

3The snares of death copased me rounde aboute, the paynes of hell gat holde vpon me,

4I founde trouble and heuynesse. Then called I vpon ye name of the LORDE: o LORDE, delyuer my soule.

5Gracious is ye LORDE & rightuous, yee oure God is mercifull.

6The LORDE preserueth ye symple, I was brought downe, and he helped me.

7Turne agayne then vnto thy rest (o my soule) for the LORDE hath geuen the thy desyre.

8And why? thou hast delyuered my soule from death, myne eyes from teares, and my fete from fallinge.

9I wil walke before ye LORDE, in the londe of the lyuynge.

10I beleued, and therfore haue I spoke, but I was sore troubled.

11I sayde in my haist: All men are lyers.

12What rewarde shal I geue vnto ye LORDE, for all the benefites yt he hath done vnto me?

13I wil receaue the cuppe of saluacio, and call vpon the name of the LORDE.

14I wil paye my vowes in the presence of all his people, right deare in the sight of ye LORDE is the death of his sayntes.

15O LORDE, I am thy seruaunt, I am thy seruaunt,

16and the sonne of thy handmayden, thou hast broken my bondes in sonder.

17I wil offre the the sacrifice of thankes geuynge, and wil call vpon the name of the LORDE.

18I wil paye my vowes vnto the LORDE in the sight of all his people,

19in the courtes of the LORDES house, eue in the myddest of the, o Ierusalem. Halleluya.
