³ The cords of death^(E) entangled me,
    the anguish of the grave came over me;
    I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
⁴ Then I called on the name^(F) of the Lord:
    “Lord, save me!^(G)”

¹² What shall I return to the Lord
    for all his goodness^(A) to me?

¹³ I will lift up the cup of salvation
    and call on the name^(B) of the Lord.
¹⁴ I will fulfill my vows^(C) to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people.

¹⁵ Precious in the sight^(D) of the Lord
    is the death of his faithful servants.^(E)
16 Truly I am your servant, Lord;^(F)
    I serve you just as my mother did;^(G)
    you have freed me from my chains.^(H)

¹⁷ I will sacrifice a thank offering^(I) to you
    and call on the name of the Lord.
¹⁸ I will fulfill my vows^(J) to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people,
¹⁹ in the courts^(K) of the house of the Lord—
    in your midst, Jerusalem.^(L)

Praise the Lord.^[a]

⁶ On this mountain^(A) the Lord Almighty will prepare
    a feast^(B) of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine—
    the best of meats and the finest of wines.^(C)
7 On this mountain he will destroy
    the shroud^(D) that enfolds all peoples,^(E)
the sheet that covers all nations;
⁸     he will swallow up death^(F) forever.
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears^(G)
    from all faces;
he will remove his people’s disgrace^(H)
    from all the earth.
The Lord has spoken.^(I)

“Surely this is our God;^(K)
    we trusted^(L) in him, and he saved^(M) us.
This is the Lord, we trusted in him;
    let us rejoice^(N) and be glad in his salvation.”^(O)
