Short but Beautiful

I receive a Daily Prayer from Catholic Expert. This one for whatever reason really has me entranced. I am also not sure why but the more I read it over the more something in the words draws me in. I am not sure why maybe if some of you have an idea let me know.

Psalm 115

I believed and so I spoke; but I was deeply humiliated.

I said in my madness: every man is a liar.

What shall I give in return to the Lord for all that He has given me?

I will receive 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 Thy slave; I am Thy slave and son of Thy handmaid.

Thou hast broken my bonds asunder.

I will offer Thee the sacrifice of praise, and will pray in 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 Lord's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.

Amen.
