Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death |
| 1 |
I love the LORD, because he hath heard
| | |
my voice and my supplications. |
|
|
| 2 |
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,
| | |
therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. |
|
|
| 3 |
The sorrows of death compassed me,
| | |
and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: |
|
I found trouble and sorrow. |
|
|
| 4 |
Then called I upon the name of the LORD;
| | |
O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. |
|
|
| 5 |
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;
| | |
yea, our God is merciful. |
|
|
| 6 |
The LORD preserveth the simple:
| | |
I was brought low, and he helped me. |
|
|
| 7 |
Return unto thy rest, O my soul;
| | |
for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. |
|
|
| 8 |
For thou hast delivered my soul from death,
| | |
mine eyes from tears, |
|
and my feet from falling. |
|
|
| 9 |
I will walk before the LORD
| | |
in the land of the living. |
|
|
| 10 |
I believed, therefore have I spoken: 2 Cor. 4.13
|
| 11 |
I said in my haste,
|
| 12 |
What shall I render unto the LORD
| | |
for all his benefits toward me? |
|
|
| 13 |
I will take the cup of salvation,
| | |
and call upon the name of the LORD. |
|
|
| 14 |
I will pay my vows unto the LORD
| | |
now in the presence of all his people. |
|
|
| 15 |
Precious in the sight of the LORD
| | |
is the death of his saints. |
|
|
| 16 |
O LORD, truly I am thy servant;
| | |
I am thy servant, |
|
and the son of thine handmaid: |
|
thou hast loosed my bonds. |
|
|
| 17 |
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
| | |
and will call upon the name of the LORD. |
|
|
| 18 |
I will pay my vows unto the LORD
| | |
now in the presence of all his people, |
|
|
| 19 |
in the courts of the LORD's house,
| | |
in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. |
|
Praise ye the LORD. |
