Psalm 116:1-4, 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.
3 The snares of death encompassed me;
 the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
 I suffered distress and anguish.
4 Then I called on the name of the Lord,
 “O Lord, I pray, save my life!”
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!
