Psalm 116:10–117:2

¹⁰I kept my faith, even when I said,

“I am greatly afflicted”;

¹¹I said in my consternation,

“Men are all a vain hope.”

¹²What shall I render 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 saints.

¹⁶O Lord, I am thy servant;

I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid.

Thou hast loosed my bonds.

¹⁷I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving

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!

PSALM 117

¹Praise the Lord, all nations!

Extol him, all peoples!

²For great is his steadfast love toward us;

and the faithfulness of the Lord endures for ever.

Praise the Lord!
