I will walk be fore-the Lord In the land | of-the | living. I believed, therefore have-I | spoken: I said in my haste, | All men-are | liars. What shall I render unto the Lord for allhis benefits | toward me? I will take the cup of-salvation, And call up | on-the | name of—the | Lord. I will pay my vows | unto-the | Lord Is the death of-his saints. O Lord, truly I am-thy | servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast | loosed-my | bonds.
