Thanksgiving for Escaping Death

A psalm of David. A song for ·giving the Temple to the Lord [L the dedication of the Temple; C perhaps written by David in anticipation of the dedication of the Temple under Solomon; the connection with healing is uncertain].

30 I will ·praise [L exalt] you, Lord,
    because you ·rescued me [L brought me up].
    You did not let my enemies ·laugh at [rejoice over] me.
Lord, my God, I ·prayed to you [cried to you for help],
    and you healed me.
You lifted me out of ·the grave [or the underworld; L Sheol];
    you spared me from going down to the ·place of the dead [L Pit; 16:10].
