Psalms 116:14

"I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the LORD’s name."

Key Reflection

This verse signifies a profound act of gratitude and dedication to God. By taking the cup of salvation, the psalmist declares their commitment to praising God for deliverance, while calling on the LORD’s name emphasizes invoking divine assistance and recognition of His saving power in their life.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I will pay my vows ... -I will perform or execute. The word vows here refers probably to the solemn promise which he had made in his sickness - the promise to devote himself to God, should he be restored to health. Compare the notes atIsaiah 38:15, notes atIsaiah 38:20. Such promises are commonly made in sickness, and, alas! almost as commonly disregarded and forgotten on a restoration to health.
