116:1I love the LORD because he has heard my voice and my supplications.

116:2Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

116:12What shall I return to the LORD for all his bounty to me?

116:13I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD;

116:14I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.

116:15Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful ones.

116:16O LORD, I am your servant; I am your servant, the child of your serving girl. You have loosed my bonds.

116:17I will offer to you a thanksgiving sacrifice and call on the name of the LORD.

116:18I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,

116:19in the courts of the house of the LORD, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!

5:1Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

5:2through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God.

5:3And not only that, but we also boast in our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance,

5:4and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,

5:5and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

5:6For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

5:7Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person--though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die.

5:8 But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.
