Psalm 116:1-4

Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death

116 I (A)love the Lord, because He has heard
My voice and my supplications.
Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

(B)The [a]pains of death surrounded me,
And the [b]pangs of Sheol [c]laid hold of me;
I found trouble and sorrow.
Then I called upon the name of the Lord:
“O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!”

Psalm 116:12-19

12 What shall I render to the Lord
For all His benefits toward me?
13 I will take up the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of the Lord.
14 (A)I will pay my vows to the Lord
Now in the presence of all His people.

15 (B)Precious in the sight of the Lord
Is the death of His saints.

16 O Lord, truly (C)I am Your servant;
I am Your servant, (D)the son of Your maidservant;
You have loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer to You (E)the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call upon the name of the Lord.

18 I will pay my vows to the Lord
Now in the presence of all His people,
19 In the (F)courts of the Lord’s house,
In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.

[a]Praise the Lord!

Isaiah 25:6-9

And in (A)this mountain
(B)The Lord of hosts will make for (C)all people
A feast of [a]choice pieces,
A feast of [b]wines on the lees,
Of fat things full of marrow,
Of well-refined wines on the lees.
And He will destroy on this mountain
The surface of the covering cast over all people,
And (D)the veil that is spread over all nations.
He will (E)swallow up death forever,
And the Lord God will (F)wipe away tears from all faces;
The rebuke of His people
He will take away from all the earth;
For the Lord has spoken.

And it will be said in that day:
“Behold, this is our God;
(G)We have waited for Him, and He will save us.
This is the Lord;
We have waited for Him;
(H)We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”

Luke 14:12-14

12 Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. 13 But when you give a feast, invite (A)the poor, the [a]maimed, the lame, the blind. 14 And you will be (B)blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
