Psalms 116:15

13 I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.

14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people.

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.

16 Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds.

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

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
