1. I give you thanks, Lord and King,I praise you, God my savior!I declare your name, refuge of my life,
2. because you have ransomed my life from death;You held back my body from the pit,and delivered my foot from the power of Sheol.You have preserved me from the scourge of the slanderous tongue,and from the lips of those who went over to falsehood.You were with me against those who rise up against me;
