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

2. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me: and in my days I will call upon him.

3. The sorrows of death have encompassed me: and the perils of hell have found me. I met with trouble and sorrow:

4. and I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.

5. The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.

6. The Lord is the keeper of little ones: I was little and he delivered me.

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

8. For he hath delivered my soul from death: my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

9. I will please the Lord in the land of the living.





“O Senhor sempre orienta e chama; mas não se quer segui-lo e responder-lhe, pois só se vê os próprios interesses. Às vezes, pelo fato de se ouvir sempre a Sua voz, ninguém mais se apercebe dela; mas o Senhor ilumina e chama. São os homens que se colocam na posição de não conseguir mais escutar.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
