Psalm 116:10–117:1

¹⁰I believed in you even when I said to myself,

“I’m in great pain.”

¹¹When I was terrified, I said to myself,

“No one tells the truth.”

¹²The Lord has been so good to me!

How can I ever pay him back?

¹³I will bring an offering of wine to the Lord

and thank him for saving me.

I will worship him.

¹⁴In front of all of the Lord’s people,

I will do what I promised him.

¹⁵The Lord pays special attention

when his faithful people die.

¹⁶Lord, I serve you.

I serve you just as my mother did.

You have set me free from the chains of my suffering.

¹⁷Lord, I will sacrifice a thank offering to you.

I will worship you.

¹⁸In front of all of the Lord’s people,

I will do what I promised him.

¹⁹I will keep my promise in the courtyards of the Lord’s temple.

I will keep my promise in Jerusalem itself.

Praise the Lord.

Psalm 117

¹All you nations, praise the Lord.

All you people on earth, praise him.
