Thanksgiving

I love the Lord, because He has heard
   My voice and my supplications.
Because He has inclined His ear to me,
   Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

The pains of death surrounded me,
   And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me;
I found trouble and sorrow.
   Then I called upon the name of the Lord:
“O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!”

Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;
   Yes, our God is merciful.
The Lord preserves the simple;
   I was brought low, and He saved me.
Return to your rest, O my soul,
   For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

For You have delivered my soul from death,
   My eyes from tears,
And my feet from falling.
   I will walk before the Lord
In the land of the living.

~Psalm 116:1-9 (NKJV)
