Be merciful to me, O LORD! See the sufferings my enemies cause me! Rescue me from death, O LORD,

that I may stand before the people of Jerusalem and tell them all the things for which I praise you. I will rejoice because you saved me.

I will offer sheep to be burned on the altar; I will sacrifice bulls and goats, and the smoke will go up to the sky.

Let us come before him with thanksgiving and sing joyful songs of praise.

Enter the Temple gates with thanksgiving; go into its courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise him.

In the assembly of all your people, in the sanctuary of your Temple in Jerusalem, I will give you what I have promised. Praise the LORD!
