Psalm 116:1-4

God, My Deliverer

116 I love the Lord
    because he has heard my prayer for mercy;[a]
2 for he listens to me whenever I call.
3 The ropes of death were wound around me
    and the anguish of Sheol[b] came upon me;
        I encountered distress and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name of the Lord,
    “Lord, please deliver me!”[c]

Psalm 116:12-19

12 What will I return to the Lord
    for all his benefits to me?
13 I will raise my cup of deliverance
    and invoke the Lord’s name.
14 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people.

15 In the sight of the Lord,
    the death of his faithful ones is valued.

16 Lord, I am indeed your servant.
    I am your servant.
I am the son of your handmaid.
    You have released my bonds.
17 I will bring you a thanksgiving offering
    and call on the name of the Lord!
18 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courts of the Lord’s house,
    in your midst, Jerusalem.

Hallelujah!

Isaiah 25:6-9

Celebration of the Righteous

6 “On this mountain,[a] the Lord of the Heavenly Armies will prepare for all peoples
    a banquet of rich food,
a banquet of well-aged wines—
    rich food full of marrow,
        and refined wines of the finest[b] vintage
7 And on this mountain,[c] he will swallow up
    the burial[d] shroud that enfolds all peoples,
the veil that is spread over all nations—
8 he has swallowed up[e] death forever!
Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces,
    and he will take away the disgrace of his people
        from the entire earth.”
for the Lord has spoken.

9 “And you[f] will say at that time,[g]
    ‘Look! It’s the Lord![h] This is our God!
We waited for him,
    and he saved us.
This is the Lord!
    We waited for him,
so let us rejoice,
    and we will[i] be glad that he has saved us.”

Luke 14:12-14

12 Then he told the man who had invited him, “When you give a luncheon or a dinner, stop inviting only[a] your friends, brothers, relatives, or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return and you would be repaid. 13 Instead, when you give a banquet, make it your habit to invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. 14 Then you will be blessed because they can’t repay you. And you will be repaid when the righteous are resurrected.”
