111:1a  Ich danke dir Herr, von ganzem Herzen,
116:8  denn du hast meine Seele von dem Tode erretet, meine Füsse von Gleiten,
116:9  dass ich wandelen mag für Gott, im Licht der Lebendigen.
103:2  Lobe den Herrn, meine Seele, und vergiss nicht, was er dir Guts getan hat.
103:3  Der dir alle, alle deine Sünde vergiebet,und heilet alle deine Gebrechen,
103:4  der dein Leben vom Verderben erlöset, der dich krönet mit Gnad und Barmherzigkeit.
103:5  Der deinen Mund frölich machet, dass du wieder jung wirst, wie ein Adler.
118:17  Ich werde nicht sterben, sondern leben und des Herren Lob verkündigen.

111:1a  I will praise the Lord with my whole heart.
116:8  For thou hast delivered my soul from death, ... and my feet from falling.
116:9  I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
103:2  Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
103:3  Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
103:4  Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
103:5  Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
118:17  I shall not die, but live, and the praise of the Lord proclaim.
