Psalm 116:1-4

Psalm 116

Thanks to God for Deliverance

1 I love the Lord because he has heard
my appeal for mercy.(A)
2 Because he has turned his ear to me,
I will call out to him as long as I live.(B)

3 The ropes of death were wrapped around me,
and the torments of Sheol overcame me;
I encountered trouble and sorrow.(C)
4 Then I called on the name of the Lord:
“Lord, save me!” (D)

Psalm 116:12-19

12 How can I repay the Lord
for all the good he has done for me?(A)
13 I will take the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the Lord.(B)
14 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people.(C)

15 The death of his faithful ones
is valuable in the Lord’s sight.(D)
16 Lord, I am indeed your servant;
I am your servant, the son of your female servant.
You have loosened my bonds.(E)

17 I will offer you a thanksgiving sacrifice
and call on the name of the Lord.(F)
18 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people,(G)
19 in the courts of the Lord’s house—
within you, Jerusalem.(H)
Hallelujah!

Isaiah 26:1-4

The Song of Judah

26 On that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:

We have a strong city.
Salvation is established as walls and ramparts.(A)
2 Open the gates
so a righteous nation can come in—
one that remains faithful.
3 You will keep the mind that is dependent on you
in perfect peace,(B)
for it is trusting in you.
4 Trust in the Lord forever,
because in the Lord, the Lord himself, is an everlasting rock!(C)

1 Peter 1:13-16

A Call to Holy Living

13 Therefore, with your minds ready for action,(A) be sober-minded(B) and set your hope(C) completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation(D) of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children,(E) do not be conformed to the desires of your former ignorance. 15 But as the one who called you(F) is holy,(G) you also are to be holy in all your conduct; 16 for it is written, Be holy, because I am holy.[a](H)
