Psalm 116:10-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
III
10 [a]I kept faith, even when I said,
“I am greatly afflicted!”(A)
11 I said in my alarm,
“All men are liars!”(B)
12 How can I repay the Lord
for all the great good done for me?
13 I will raise the cup of salvation[b]
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 [c]Dear in the eyes of the Lord
is the death of his devoted.(C)
16 Lord, I am your servant,
your servant, the child of your maidservant;(D)
you have loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer a sacrifice of praise
and call on the name of the Lord.(E)
18 I will pay my vows to the Lord(F)
in the presence of all his people,
19 In the courts of the house of the Lord,
in your midst, O Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!
Footnotes
- 116:10 I kept faith, even when I said: even in the days of despair, the psalmist did not lose all hope.
- 116:13 The cup of salvation: probably the libation of wine poured out in gratitude for rescue, cf. Ex 25:29; Nm 15:5, 7, 10.
- 116:15 Dear in the eyes of the Lord: the meaning is that the death of God’s faithful is grievous to God, not that God is pleased with the death, cf. Ps 72:14. In Wis 3:5–6, God accepts the death of the righteous as a sacrificial burnt offering.
