Psalm 116:12-19 (NRSV)
John,
Apostle and Evangelist (transferred) What shall I return
to the LORD
for all his bounty to me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the LORD,
I will pay my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all his people.
Precious in the sight of the LORD
is the death of his faithful ones.
O LORD, I am your servant;
I am
your servant, the child of your serving girl.
You have loosed my bonds.
I will offer to you a thanksgiving sacrifice
and call on the name of
the LORD.
I will pay my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all his
people,
in the courts of the house of the LORD,
in your midst, O
Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD!
