The cry of thanks expressed in Psalm 116 is illustrated in other narratives, particularly in the New Testament. See, for example, the story of the Canaanite Woman in Matthew 18:21-28, the leper in Mark 1:40-45, the paralyzed man in Mark 2:1-12, Lazarus’s friends and family in John 11:45 and 12:1-3, and other similar instances.
