Psalms 116:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 116:4

2 Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

3 ^aThe¹ pains of death surrounded me,
And the¹ pangs of Sheol laid hold of me;
I found trouble and sorrow.

4 Then I called upon the name of the Lord:
“O Lord, I implore You, deliver my soul!”

5 ^aGracious is the Lord, and ^brighteous;
Yes, our God is merciful.

6 The Lord preserves the simple;
I was brought low, and He saved me.

7 Return to your ^arest, O my soul,
For ^bthe Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

8 ^aFor You have delivered my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from falling.

9 I will walk before the Lord
^aIn the land of the living.

10 ^aI believed, therefore I spoke,
“I am greatly afflicted.”

11 ^aI said in my haste,
^b“All men are liars.”

12 What shall I render to the Lord
For all His benefits toward me?

13 I will take up the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of the Lord.

14 ^aI will pay my vows to the Lord
Now in the presence of all His people.

15 ^aPrecious in the sight of the Lord
Is the death of His saints.

16 O Lord, truly ^aI am Your servant;
I am Your servant, ^bthe son of Your maidservant;
You have loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer to You ^athe sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call upon the name of the Lord.

18 I will pay my vows to the Lord
Now in the presence of all His people,

19 In the ^acourts of the Lord’s house,
In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
¹Praise the Lord!
