12 How can I repay the Lord
for all the great good done for me?
13 I will raise the cup of salvation[a]
and call on the name of the Lord.
14 I will pay my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people.
15 [b]Dear in the eyes of the Lord
is the death of his devoted.(A)
16 Lord, I am your servant,
your servant, the child of your maidservant;(B)
you have loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer a sacrifice of praise
and call on the name of the Lord.(C)
18 I will pay my vows to the Lord(D)
in the presence of all his people,
19 In the courts of the house of the Lord,
in your midst, O Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!
6 On this mountain[a] the Lord of hosts
will provide for all peoples
A feast of rich food and choice wines,
juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines.
7 On this mountain he will destroy
the veil that veils all peoples,
The web that is woven over all nations.
8 He will destroy death forever.
The Lord God will wipe away
the tears from all faces;
The reproach of his people he will remove
from the whole earth; for the Lord has spoken.(A)
9 On that day it will be said:
“Indeed, this is our God; we looked to him, and he saved us!
This is the Lord to whom we looked;
let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!”(B)
12 Then he said to the host who invited him, “When you hold a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors, in case they may invite you back and you have repayment.(A) 13 Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; 14 blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”(B)
