Psalms 116:0 The Praise of Israel for Deliverance from Death 1. The Deliverance-Experience (Psalms 116:1-9 ) 2. Thanksgiving (Psalms 116:10-19 ) Redeemed Israel expresseth in this Psalm her love to Jehovah for His gracious deliverances, for answered prayer and for His salvation. They were, during the great tribulation, as a faithful remnant; surrounded by the sorrows of death, the pains of Sheol were upon them. Death stared them in the face. Then they cried to the Lord, and, as of old, He... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 116:1-19

The first psalm in this lesson is one of the imprecatory or cursing psalms, in the interpretation of which we should keep in mind the principles already stated: (1) that the writer speaks as a prophet; (2) that the enemies are not merely personal to him but enemies of God; (3) that they are not individuals so much as nations; and (4) that they are considered at a time when the incorrigible condition has been reached, and they have become permanently fixed in opposition to the Most High. The... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 116:16-19

Here again we may safely perceive Christ the mediator, the servant of Jehovah, the son of the handmaid, and lie that was bound for his people. whom Jehovah loosed. See those scriptures, Isaiah 42:1-4 , compared with Matthew 12:8-21 ; Luke 1:48; Luke 1:48 ; Isaiah 7:14 ; Acts 2:24 ; Isaiah 53:6 . And secondly and subordinately, we may, in consequence of our union with Christ, take up the same sweet words, and looking up to God in Christ, pay our vows, as being loosed by Jesus' stripes and death... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 116:10-19

10-19 When troubled, we do best to hold our peace, for we are apt to speak unadvisedly. Yet there may be true faith where there are workings of unbelief; but then faith will prevail; and being humbled for our distrust of God's word, we shall experience his faithfulness to it. What can the pardoned sinner, or what can those who have been delivered from trouble or distress, render to the Lord for his benefits? We cannot in any way profit him. Our best is unworthy of his acceptance; yet we ought... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 116:1-19

Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Extreme Perils. The psalmist proclaims the fact that he was saved from great dangers, celebrates his deliverance by giving praise to God alone, and pledges His public acknowledgment of his debt to Jehovah. v. 1.

Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, in the attitude of willing attention,... read more

Psalms 116:01 I love the Lord, because he hath heardMy voice and my supplications.2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me,Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.3 The sorrows of death compassed me,And the pains of hell gat hold upon me:I found trouble and sorrow.4 Then called I upon the name of the Lord;O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;Yea our God is merciful.6 The Lord preserveth the simple:I was... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 116:12-19

Praise Him for All His Benefits Psalms 116:12-19 ; Psalms 117:1-2 The psalmist dwells joyfully on his enslavement to God, because in and through it he had found perfect liberty. Thou hast loosed my bonds . They who become enslaved to Christ are set free from all other restraints. See John 8:31-36 . Do not forget to pay your vows! In trouble we make promises, which, when the trouble has passed, we find it convenient to forget. See Genesis 40:23 . Psalms 117:1-2 is the shortest chapter in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 116:1-19

This is the fourth song of the Hallel. In it the note of triumph over death, with which the last one closed, is elaborated. The singer had evidently been in some grave peril in which he had practically despaired of life. From the peril he had been delivered by Jehovah, and now he sings His praise. It has two movements. The first tells of his love, and declares its reason and its issue (vv. Psa 116:1-9 ). The second tells of his resulting faith, breaks forth into new exultation, and affirms his... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 116:16

I am thy servant: this is either, 1. An argument used in prayer, It becometh thee to protect and save thy own servants, as every good master doth; or rather, 2. A thankful acknowledgment of his great obligations to God, whereby he was in duty bound to be the Lord’s faithful and perpetual servant. For this suits best with the context. The son of thine handmaid; either, 1. The son of a mother who was devoted and did devote me to thy service. Or, 2. Like one born in thy house of one of thy... read more
