SEV Biblia, Chapter 116:13
Tomaré la copa de la salud, e invocaré el Nombre del SEÑOR.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 115:13
Verse 13. I will take the cup of salvation ] Literally, The cup of salvation, or deliverance, will I lift up. Alluding to the action in taking the cup of blessing among the Jews, which, when the person or master of the family lifted up, he said these words, "Blessed be the Lord, the Maker of the world, who has created the fruit of the vine!" But it may probably allude to the libation-offering, Num. xxviii. 7; for the three last verses seem to intimate that the psalmist was now at the temple, offering the meat-offering, drink- offering, and sacrifices to the Lord. Cup is often used by the Hebrews to denote plenty or abundance. So, the cup of trembling, an abundance of misery; the cup of salvation, an abundance of happiness. And call upon the name of the Lord. ] I will invoke his name, that I may get more of the same blessings; for the only return that God requires is, that we ask for more. Who is like GOD? One reason why we should never more come to a fellow-mortal for a favour is, we have received so many already. A strong reason why we should claim the utmost salvation of God is, because we are already so much in debt to his mercy. Now this is the only way we have of discharging our debts to God; and yet, strange to tell, every such attempt to discharge the debt only serves to increase it! Yet, notwithstanding, the debtor and creditor are represented as both pleased, both profited, and both happy in each other! Reader, pray to him, invoke his name; receive the cup-accept the abundance of salvation which he has provided thee, that thou mayest love and serve him with a perfect heart.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-19 - When troubled, we do best to hold our peace, for we are apt to spea unadvisedly. Yet there may be true faith where there are workings of unbelief; but then faith will prevail; and being humbled for ou distrust of God's word, we shall experience his faithfulness to it What can the pardoned sinner, or what can those who have been delivere 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 to devote ourselves and all we have to his service. I wil take the cup of salvation; I will offer the drink-offerings appointe by the law, in token of thankfulness to God, and rejoice in God' goodness to me. I will receive the cup of affliction; that cup, tha bitter cup, which is sanctified to the saints, so that to them it is cup of salvation; it is a means of spiritual health. The cup of consolation; I will receive the benefits God bestows upon me, as from his hand, and taste his love in them, as the portion not only of min inheritance in the other world, but of my cup in this. Let others serv what masters they will, truly I am thy servant. Two ways men came to be servants. By birth. Lord, I was born in thy house; I am the son of thine handmaid, and therefore thine. It is a great mercy to be children of godly parents. By redemption. Lord, thou hast loosed my bonds, tho hast discharged me from them, therefore I am thy servant. The bond thou hast loosed shall tie me faster unto thee. Doing good i sacrifice, with which God is well pleased; and this must accompan giving thanks to his name. Why should we offer that to the Lord whic cost us nothing? The psalmist will pay his vows now; he will not dela the payment: publicly, not to make a boast, but to show he is no ashamed of God's service, and to invite others to join him. Such ar true saints of God, in whose lives and deaths he will be glorified __________________________________________________________________
