I prayed to the Lord, and I praised him.
What must I give you, LORD, for being so good to me?
(By David for praise.) I will praise you, my God and King, and always honor your name.
(A psalm by David for the dedication of the temple.) I will praise you, LORD! You saved me from the grave and kept my enemies from celebrating my death.
I prayed to you, LORD, and in my prayer I said,
"What good will it do you if I am in the grave? Once I have turned to dust, how can I praise you or tell how loyal you are?
I was a nobody, but I prayed, and the LORD saved me from all my troubles.
