Psalm 118:5

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

I in distress call'd on the Lord; the Lord did answer me: He in a large place did me set, from trouble made me free.

See the chapter Copy

He to a place where liberty and room was hath me brought; Because he took delight in me, he my deliv'rance wrought.

In my distress I call'd on God, cry to my God did I; He from his temple heard my voice, to his ears came my cry.

In my distress to God I cry'd, and he gave ear to me.

In grief they cry to God; he saves them from their miseries.

And thou hast not inclosed me within the en'my's hand; And by thee have my feet been made in a large room to stand.

In trouble then they cry'd to God, he them from straits did save.

I in my trouble sought the Lord, my sore by night did run, And ceased not; my grieved soul did consolation shun.

According to my righteousness he did me recompense, He me repaid according to my hands' pure innocence.
