''Ant. '' I will please the Lord,

have loved, * because the Lord will hear the voice of my prayer.

Because He hath inclined His ear to me: * and in my days I will call upon Him.

The sorrows of death have compassed me: * and the perils of hell have found me.

I met with trouble and sorrow: * and I called upon the name of the Lord.

O Lord, deliver my soul. * The Lord is merciful and just, and our God showeth mercy.

The Lord is the keeper of the little ones: * I was humbled, and He delivered me.

Turn, O my soul, into thy rest: * for the Lord hath been bountiful to thee.

For He hath delivered my soul from death: * my eyes from tears; my feet from falling.
