Lyrics:

I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice 
and my supplications.
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,
therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
The sorrows of death compassed me,
and the pains of hell got hold upon me:
I found trouble and sorrow.
Then I called upon the name of the Lord;
O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
Return unto thy rest, Oh my soul.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, 
mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
I will walk before the Lord, in the land of the living.
