Context of Psalms 116:13
11I was confused and I said, ‘Everybody tells lies.’ 12The Lord has done many kind things to help me. What can I give back to him? I will offer a cup of wine to the Lord, to thank him because he saved me! I will worship him. 14I will give to the Lord everything that I have promised. I will do that when all his people meet together. 15The Lord is sad when one of his servants dies, because their lives are valuable to him.
