3 The ropes of death were wound around me and the anguish of Sheol came upon me; I encountered distress and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD, "LORD, please deliver me!"
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate;
6 the LORD watches over the innocent; I was brought low, and he delivered me.
7 Return to your resting place, my soul, for the LORD treated you generously.
8 Indeed, you delivered my soul from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling.
9 I will walk in the LORD's presence in the lands of the living.
10 I will continue to believe, even when I say, "I am greatly afflicted"
11 and speak hastily, "All people are liars!"
12 What will I return to the LORD for all his benefits to me?
13 I will raise my cup of deliverance and invoke the LORD's name.
14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.
