Psalms 116:17
15 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.
I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.
18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people,
19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
