The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish.

By steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the Lord one turns away from evil.

For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life.

Blessed be your discretion, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodguilt and from working salvation with my own hand!
