Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death
1 I
alove the
Lord, because He has heard
My voice
and my supplications.
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call
upon Him as long as I live.
3 aThe
1 pains of death surrounded me,
And the
1 pangs of Sheol laid hold of me;
I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called upon the name of the
Lord:
“O
Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!”
5 aGracious
is the
Lord, and
brighteous;
Yes, our God
is merciful.
6 The
Lord preserves the simple;
I was brought low, and He saved me.
7 Return to your
arest, O my soul,
For
bthe
Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
8 aFor You have delivered my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from falling.
9 I will walk before the
LordaIn the land of the living.
