Psalm 116:1-6 from "The Psalms of David in Metre" (Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650).

1 I love the Lord, because my voice
and prayers he did hear.
2 I, while I live, will call on him,
who bow'd to me his ear.

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

4 Upon the name of God the Lord
then did I call, and say,
Deliver thou my soul, O Lord,
I do thee humbly pray.

5 God merciful and righteous is,
yea, gracious is our Lord.
6 God saves the meek: I was brought low,
he did me help afford.

I love the Lord, because my voice
and prayers he did hear.
I, while I live, will call on him,
who bow'd to me his ear.
