Dual PanelSomeone Saved from Death Praises God
1I love the LORD, because he hears me; he listens to my prayers.
2He listens to me every time I call to him.
3The danger of death was all around me; the horrors of the grave closed in on me; I was filled with fear and anxiety.
4Then I called to the LORD, “I beg you, LORD, save me!”
5The LORD is merciful and good; our God is compassionate.
6The LORD protects the helpless; when I was in danger, he saved me.
7Be confident, my heart, because the LORD has been good to me.
8The LORD saved me from death; he stopped my tears and kept me from defeat.
9And so I walk in the presence of the LORD in the world of the living.
10I kept on believing, even when I said, “I am completely crushed,”
11even when I was afraid and said, “No one can be trusted.”
12What can I offer the LORD for all his goodness to me?
13I will bring a wine offering to the LORD, to thank him for saving me.
14In the assembly of all his people I will give him what I have promised.
15How painful it is to the LORD when one of his people dies!
16I am your servant, LORD; I serve you just as my mother did. You have saved me from death.
17I will give you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and offer my prayer to you.
18In the assembly of all your people, in the sanctuary of your Temple in Jerusalem, I will give you what I have promised. Praise the LORD!
