Thanksgiving for Rescue from Death.

^1 (C1)I love the LORD, because He ^(C2)hears
My voice and my pleas.

² Because He has ^(C1)inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

³ The ^(C1)snares of death encompassed me
And the ^(F1)terrors of ^(F2)Sheol ^(F3)came upon me;
I found distress and sorrow.

⁴ Then ^(C1)I called upon the name of the LORD:
"Please, LORD, ^(C2)save my ^(F1)life!"

^5 (C1)Gracious is the LORD, and ^(C2)righteous;
Yes, our God is ^(C3)compassionate.

⁶ The LORD watches over ^(C1)the simple;
I was ^(C2)brought low, and He saved me.

⁷ Return to your ^(C1)rest, my soul,
For the LORD has ^(C2)dealt generously with you.

⁸ For You have ^(C1)rescued my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from stumbling.

⁹ I shall walk before the LORD
In the ^(F1)(C1)land of the living.

¹⁰ I ^(C1)believed when I said,
"I am ^(C2)greatly afflicted."

¹¹ I ^(C1)said in my alarm,
"^(C2)All people are liars."

¹² What shall I ^(C1)repay to the LORD
For all His ^(C2)benefits ^(F1)to me?

¹³ I will lift up the ^(C1)cup of salvation,
And ^(C2)call upon the name of the LORD.

¹⁴ I will ^(C1)pay my vows to the LORD;
May it be ^(C2)in the presence of all His people!

^15 (C1)Precious in the sight of the LORD
Is the death of His godly ones.

¹⁶ O LORD, ^(F1)I surely am ^(C1)Your slave,
I am Your slave, the ^(C2)son of Your female slave,
You have ^(C3)unfastened my restraints.

¹⁷ I will offer You ^(C1)a sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And ^(C2)call upon the name of the LORD.

¹⁸ I will ^(C1)pay my vows to the LORD,
May it be in the presence of all His people,

¹⁹ In the ^(C1)courtyards of the LORD'S house,
In the midst of you, ^(C2)Jerusalem!
^(F1)Praise ^(F2)the LORD!
