Psalm 116:1-19
The Lord protects the simplehearted ; when I was in great need, he saved me.
Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.
The Lord have delivered my soul from death, that I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living. I believed; therefore(even when) I said, "I am greatly afflicted."
How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord. I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.
I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the Lord.
Precious in the sight of the lord is the death of his saints.
I am your servant, the son of your faithful son.
Why?
Be at rest once more, even when I am greatly afflicted, because I believe the Lord.
Every saint's life is precious in the sight of the Lord, how great is my Lord.
To repay the Lord for all his goodness to me, I will lift up the cup of salvation, proclaim his salvation, I will call on name of the Lord, exalt the name of the Lord in the presence of all his people. Publicly exalt the name of the Lord.
Simple hearted people is the people with faith in Lord and without wicked mind. Child or folly.
Saved from death in answer to prayer, the psalmist comes to make his thank-offering in the Temple. The memory of that terrible time when the grave 'closed in' on him, with fear and danger all around, is vividly present as he pours out his heart in gratitude to God.
How?
Present my thanks to the Lord, praise the Lord in all of my life. My life is in His hands. How can I repay his goodness to me? I love God with all my heart, all my mind and all my strength. Be at rest whenever I meet.
