I Believed the Lord - Psalm 116: 10-19

Affliction has various effects but must not topple my belief so easy to fill self in alarm the lies of mankind bring grief Come to the Lord calling His name lifting up the cup of salvation thanking God for all His benefits accomplished in His plan of redemption Keep your vows before God's people in their presence give it to the Lord remember how precious in God's sight His saints passing onto the heavenly cord The Lord's servant is what I am to serve Him only is my aim for God has loosed my bonds so now be His constant living flame Give God my sacrifice of thanksgiving calling in His name forevermore in His presence obey Him always praise the Lord with a mighty roar ("I believed, even when I spoke: “I am greatly afflicted”; I said in my alarm, “All mankind are liars.” What shall I render to the Lord for all his benefits to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord, I will pay 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. 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!") Psalm 116: 10-19 (ESV)
