Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death

301 I will extol You, O Lord , for You have lifted me up, And have not let my enemies rejoice over me. 2 O Lord my God , I cried to You for help , and You healed me. 3 O Lord , You have brought up my soul from Sheol ; You have kept me alive , that I would not go down to the pit . 4 Sing praise to the Lord , you His godly ones , And give thanks to His holy name . 5 For His anger is but for a moment , His favor is for a lifetime ; Weeping may last for the night , But a shout of joy comes in the morning .

6 Now as for me, I said in my prosperity , "I will never e be moved ." 7 O Lord , by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong ; You hid Your face , I was dismayed . 8 To You, O Lord , I called , And to the Lord I made supplication : 9 "What profit is there in my blood , if I go down to the pit ? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness ? 10 " Hear , O Lord , and be gracious to me; O Lord , be my helper ." 11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing ; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness , 12 That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent . O Lord my God , I will give thanks to You forever .
