Psalm 116:15-19
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints. O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds. I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving 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!
Oh, my Lord and Master, those sacrifices are my vows to You to be performed and paid in the presence of Your people. Not in silence, not hidden in a corner out of sight, but before Your saints, in the assemblies of Your peoples, and wherever You direct my steps. To be performed and paid as a testimony to those who do not acknowledge You and as an encouragement to those who do. Praise You, my Lord and Master.
