Psalm 56:12-13: "I will make the vows I made to you, O God; I will present my offers of gratitude.

Psalm 66:16-19: "Come and listen to you all who fear God; I will tell you what He did for me. I cry to him with his mouth; I praised him with his tongue.

" This verse highlights the importance of crying out and praising God, just as the psalmist did in his distress in Psalm 116.
Psalm 118:17: "I will not die; but I will be to announce what the Lord has done." This verse is a statement of victory and thanks for the Lord's deliverance. The psalmist recognizes that he has been saved from death and now has the purpose of announcing what the Lord has done.
