I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the Pit, O LORD my God.7 As my life was ebbing away, I remembered the LORD; and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple.A’ 8 Those who worship vain idols forsake their true loyalty.9 But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Deliverance belongs to the LORD!”
