8
But then, O Lord, I remembered how merciful you are and what you had done in times past. I remembered that you rescue those who rely on you, that you save them from their enemies.
9
Then from here on earth I prayed to you to rescue me from death.
10
I prayed, "O Lord, you are my father; do not abandon me to my troubles when I am helpless against arrogant enemies.
11
I will always praise you and sing hymns of thanksgiving." You answered my prayer,
12
and saved me from the threat of destruction. And so I thank you and praise you. O Lord, I praise you!
