you kept me from the grave. I was on my way to the depths below, but you restored my life.
How great is your constant love for me! You have saved me from the grave itself.
O Lord, my defender, I call to you. Listen to my cry! If you do not answer me, I will be among those who go down to the world of the dead.
because you protect me from the power of death. I have served you faithfully, and you will not abandon me to the world of the dead.
The Lord saved me from death; he stopped my tears and kept me from defeat.
You have sent troubles and suffering on me, but you will restore my strength; you will keep me from the grave.
because you have rescued me from death and kept me from defeat. And so I walk in the presence of God, in the light that shines on the living.
He kept me from going to the world of the dead, and I am still alive.”
He healed them with his command and saved them from the grave.
Lord, I will live for you, for you alone; Heal me and let me live.
