I love the Lord, because my voice and prayers he did hear.
For God the poor hears, and will not his prisoners contemn.
I waited for the Lord my God, and patiently did bear; At length to me he did incline my voice and cry to hear.
Look on me, Lord, and merciful do thou unto me prove, As thou art wont to do to those thy name who truly love.
For ever blessed be the Lord, for graciously he heard The voice of my petitions, and prayers did regard.
