Psalm 116:10–117:2

^10eI kept my faith, even when I said,

“I am greatly afflicted”;

¹¹I said in my consternation,

“Everyone is a liar.”^*

¹²What shall I return to the Lord

for all his bounty to me?

¹³I will lift up the cup of salvation

and call on the name of the Lord;

¹⁴I will pay my vows to the Lord

in the presence of all his people.^*

¹⁵Precious in the sight of the Lord

is the death of his faithful ones.^*

¹⁶O Lord, I am your servant;

I am your servant, the child of your serving girl.

You have loosed my bonds.^*

¹⁷I will offer to you a thanksgiving sacrifice

and call on the name of the Lord.^*

¹⁸I will pay my vows to the Lord

in the presence of all his people,

¹⁹in the courts of the house of the Lord,

in your midst, O Jerusalem.

Praise the Lord!^*
