Extracting text from Xpath using JavaScript

Looking for a way to extract the text from an Xpath using javascript.

Example:
Xpath: Sometext

Want to return the value: Sometext.

Tried something like this with no luck.

var x_path = ‘my_xpath’;
var result = document.evaluate(x_path,document, null, XPathResult.STRING_TYPE, null);
console.log(result);

Output is just {}.
