I prayed to the Lord, and I praised him.
I was a nobody, but I prayed, and the Lord saved me from all my troubles.
I will praise you, my God and King, and always honor your name.
What must I give you, Lord, for being so good to me?
I prayed to you, Lord, and in my prayer I said,
I will praise you, Lord! You saved me from the grave and kept my enemies from celebrating my death.
“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?
