“ Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.He sent out his word and healed them, snatching them from the door of death.Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them.Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and sing joyfully about his glorious acts.
Praise the Lord, for he has shown me the wonders of his unfailing love. He kept me safe when my city was under attack.In panic I cried out,“ I am cut off from the Lord!” But you heard my cry for mercy and answered my call for help.
For the Lord hears the cries of the needy; he does not despise his imprisoned people.Praise him, O heaven and earth, the seas and all that move in them.
