15The Lord is sad when one of his servants dies, because their lives are valuable to him. 16Lord, I really am your servant. I am like a slave in your house. You have saved me from death. I will offer to you a special sacrifice to say ‘thank you’. I will worship you as Lord. 18I will give to the Lord everything that I have promised. I will do that when all his people meet together, 19in the yard of the Lord's temple. Yes, I will worship you in your temple in Jerusalem. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
