TEHILLIM ADDITIONS 153

Spoken by Dawiḏ, giving thanks to
Elohim for deliverance from the lion and the wolf,
after he had slain them both.

1 Praise 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, all you nations;
Esteem Him, and baraḵ His Name.

2 He has rescued the being of His chosen from the hands of death,
And delivered His kind one from destruction.

3 He has delivered me from the nets of She’ol,
And my being from the pit that cannot be fathomed.

4 Before my deliverance could go forth from Him,
I was very nearly torn in two pieces by two wild beasts;

5 But He sent His messenger, and closed up for me the gaping mouths,
And rescued my life from destruction.

6 My being shall esteem Him and exalt Him,
Because of all His kindnesses which He has done to me,
And shall continue to do to me.
