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.





“Por que a tentação passada deixa na alma uma certa perturbação? perguntou um penitente a Padre Pio. Ele respondeu: “Você já presenciou um tremor de terra? Quando tudo estremece a sua volta, você também é sacudido; no entanto, não necessariamente fica enterrado nos destroços!” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
