He took me to a safe place. Because he delights in me, he saved me.
I was in trouble, so I called to the Lord. The Lord answered me and set me free.
You have not handed me over to my enemies but have set me in a safe place.
You give me a better way to live, so I live as you want me to.
He lifted me out of the pit of destruction, out of the sticky mud. He stood me on a rock and made my feet steady.
“God is gently calling you from the jaws of trouble to an open place of freedom where he has set your table full of the best food.
When people’s steps follow the Lord, God is pleased with their ways.
Praise the Lord your God, who was pleased to make you king of Israel. The Lord has constant love for Israel, so he made you king to keep justice and to rule fairly.”
