Psalm 116:10-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

10 [a]I kept my faith, even when I said,
    “I am greatly afflicted”;
11 I said in my consternation,
    “Everyone is a liar.”(A)

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.(B)
15 Precious in the sight of the Lord
    is the death of his faithful ones.(C)
16 O Lord, I am your servant;
    I am your servant, the child of your serving girl.
    You have loosed my bonds.(D)
17 I will offer to you a thanksgiving sacrifice
    and call on the name of the Lord.(E)
