The cords of death entangled me The torments of destruction overwhelmed me Cords of the grave coiled around The snares of death confronted me In my distress I called to God He rescued me, from agony I have, resolved that my mouth will not sin As for the deeds of men, by the words of your lips I've kept myself from violent ways My steps have held to your paths Teach me, Your way Oh Lord lead me in a straight path Cause of my oppressors do not, leave me For my foes rise against me scheming (chorus) Never, to be alone in the presence of God eternally Living hell, existence without God is mortal agony Affliction, free me from my anguish Cast your burdens on the Lord Anxiety is lifted I praise the Lord ,who counsels me Even in the night my heart instructs me The will of the Lord merciful He never will abandon me Nor will He let me see decay He'll rescue me from agony Answer, when I call to You my righteous God Give relief from my distress Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you He'll never let the righteous fall You will, oh God Bring down the wicked to the pit of hell Save me, Father I'll sleep in death without Your light (chorus) Never, to be alone in the presence of God eternally Living hell, existence without God is mortal agony The cords of death entangled me The torrents of destruction overwhelmed me Cords of the grave coiled around the snares of death Confronted me, in my distress I called to God He rescued me, from agony I have, resolved that my mouth will not sin I live to please you God Write your law on my heart By your Spirit guard my words Guide me in your righteous path Hear my, crying Oh Lord to the desire of the afflicted you will listen To You, oh Lord I lift my soul in You I trust my God
