Psalm 116:1-2, 12-19

¹   I love the LORD, because he has heard
my voice and my supplications.
²   Because he inclined his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

¹²  What shall I return to the LORD
for all his bounty to me?
¹³  I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the LORD,
¹⁴  I will pay my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all his people.
¹⁵  Precious in the sight of the LORD
is the death of his faithful ones.
¹⁶  O LORD, I am your servant;
I am your servant, the child of your serving girl.
You have loosed my bonds.
¹⁷  I will offer to you a thanksgiving sacrifice
and call on the name of the LORD.
¹⁸  I will pay my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all his people,
¹⁹  in the courts of the house of the LORD,
in your midst, O Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD!
