God, my God, praise you. You are in the heavens and you do all that you please.

I love you, father, because you have heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. You have inclined your ear to me.  I suffered distress and anguish; I called on the Lord; I prayed, father, deliver my soul. Lord, you were gracious and merciful and righteous.

I am just a man with simple understanding and you have saved me. You have returned my soul to your rest. You have dealt bountifully with me. You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.  I walk before you Lord, in the land of the living. Precious in your sight, oh Lord, is the death of your Saints. Oh Lord, I am your servant.  You have loosed my bonds and I offer to you thanksgiving.
