A personal thanksgiving from death's door: 'I love Jehovah, because he heareth my voice… The cords of death compassed me.' Then I called: 'O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.' Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous: he preserveth the simple. 'Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee… I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.' 'What shall I render unto Jehovah for all his benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah… Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.'
