New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 [a]I kept my faith, even when I said,
“I am greatly afflicted”;

“Everyone is a liar.”(A)

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)
