Scottish Psalter, 1650 AZMON C.M. Carl G. Gläser, 1828

1.I love the Lord, because my voice
and prayers he did hear.
I, while I live, will call on him,
who bowed to me his ear.

2.Of death the cords and sorrows did
about me compass round;
The pains of hell took hold on me,
I grief and trouble found.

3.Upon the name of God the Lord
then did I call, and say,
Deliver thou my soul, O Lord,
I do thee humbly pray.

4.God merciful and righteous is,
yea, gracious is our Lord.
God saves the meek: I was brought low,
he did me help afford.

5.O thou my soul, do thou return
unto thy quiet rest;
For largely, lo, the Lord to thee
his bounty hath expressed.

6.For my distressed soul from death
delivered was by thee:
Thou didst my mourning eyes from tears,
my feet from falling, free.

7.I in the land of those that live
will walk the Lord before.
I did believe, therefore I spake:
I was afflicted sore.

8.I said, when I was in my haste,
that all men liars be.
What shall I render to the Lord
for all his gifts to me?

9.I'll of salvation take the cup,
on God's name will I call:
I'll pay my vows now to the Lord
before his people all.

10.Dear in God's sight is his saints' death.
Thy servant, Lord, am I;
Thy servant sure, thine handmaid's son:
my bands thou didst untie.

11.Thank-off'rings I to thee will give,
and on God's name will call.
I'll pay my vows now to the Lord
before his people all;

12.Within the courts of God's own house,
within the midst of thee,
O city of Jerusalem.
Praise to the Lord give ye.
