    “The LORD is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate. The LORD protects the untrained; I was in serious trouble and he delivered me. Rest once more, my soul, for the LORD has vindicated you. Yes, LORD, you rescued my life from death, kept my eyes from tears and my feet from stumbling. I will serve the LORD in the land of the living. I had faith when I said,“I am severely oppressed.” I rashly declared,“All men are liars.” How can I repay the LORD for all his acts of kindness to me? I will celebrate my deliverance, and call on the name of the LORD. I will fulfill my vows to the LORD before all his people. The LORD values the lives of his faithful followers. Yes, LORD! I am indeed your servant; I am your servant, the son of your female servant. You saved me from death. I will present a thank offering to you, and call on the name of the LORD.

    “The Lord is full of grace and righteousness; truly, he is a God of mercy. The Lord keeps the simple; I was made low, and he was my saviour. Come back to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has given you your reward. You have taken my soul from the power of death, keeping my eyes from weeping, and my feet from falling. I will go before the Lord in the land of the living. I still had faith, though I said, I am in great trouble; Though I said in my fear, All men are false. What may I give to the Lord for all the good things which he has done for me? I will take the cup of salvation, and give praise to the name of the Lord. I will make the offering of my oath to the Lord, even before all his people. Dear in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints. O Lord, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of her who is your servant; by you have my cords been broken. I will give an offering of praise to you, and make my prayer in the name of the Lord. I will make the offerings of my oath, even before all his people; In the Lord's house, even in Jerusalem. Praise be to the Lord.”
