Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death.

1
I love the LORD, because He hears
My voice {and} my supplications.

2
Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I shall call {upon Him} as long as I live.

3
The cords of death encompassed me
And the terrors of Sheol came upon me;
I found distress and sorrow.

4
Then I called upon the name of the LORD:
“O LORD, I beseech You, save my life!

5
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;
Yes, our God is compassionate.

6
The LORD preserves the simple;
I was brought low, and He saved me.

7
Return to your rest, O my soul,
For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.

8
For You have rescued my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
My feet from stumbling.

9
I shall walk before the LORD
In the land of the living.

10
I believed when I said,
“I am greatly afflicted.

11
I said in my alarm,
“All men are liars.

12
What shall I render to the LORD
For all His benefits toward me?

13
I shall lift up the cup of salvation
And call upon the name of the LORD.

14
I shall pay my vows to the LORD,
Oh {may it be} in the presence of all His people.

15
Precious in the sight of the LORD
Is the death of His godly ones.

16
O LORD, surely I am Your servant,
I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid,
You have loosed my bonds.

17
To You I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And call upon the name of the LORD.

18
I shall pay my vows to the LORD,
Oh {may it be} in the presence of all His people,

19
In the courts of the LORD’S house,
In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD!
