116:2
Because he has turned his ear to me,
Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live.

116:5

Return to your rest, my soul,
Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
116:8
For you have delivered my soul from death,
For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

116:11
I said in my haste,
In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!”
116:12
What will I give to the LORD for all his benefits towards me?
How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me?

LORD, truly I am your servant.
Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds.
116:17
I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,

in the courts of the LORD’s house,
in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
