Because thy mercy toward me in greatness doth excel; And thou deliver'd hast my soul out from the lowest hell.

Of death the cords and sorrows did about me compass round; The pains of hell took hold on me, I grief and trouble found.

Hear me, O Lord, because thy love and kindness is most good; Turn unto me, according to thy mercies' multitude.

Waters had cover'd us, our soul had sunk beneath the stream.
