Psalm 116
-> A Psalm of thanksgiving, a proclamation of what God has done and an acknowledgement of our dependence on him
-> I would like to just share some quick thought on the first 4 Verses
1 I love the LORD, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
-> “he heard my voice”: not a onetime occasion but a everlasting assurance that God hears us when we call out to him
2 Because he turned his ear to me,I will call on him as long as I live.
-> “I will call...”: in consequence we make a lifelong resolve to call out to him and to trust God exclusively
3 The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
-> ESV: “the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me”
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version.
(2016).
(Ps 116:3).
Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles.
-> Old Testament poetry: death and Sheol have aggressive grip on a person wanting to crush them
-> Many of you came with past injuries, present sins and future worries gripping to your souls and pulling you down
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD:“LORD, save me!”
-> The Psalmist ones more comes back to the only place of refuge and help
-> A pattern that we not only see here but find throughout the Psalm: 2b, 13b, 17b
2b
Because he inclined his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
13b
I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the LORD
17b
I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving
and call on the name of the LORD.
Read to finish:
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
6 The LORD protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me.
7 Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
