SEV Biblia, Chapter 116:16

Así es oh SEÑOR, porque yo soy tu siervo, yo soy tu siervo, hijo de tu sierva; tú rompiste mis prisiones.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 115:16

Verse 16. I am thy servant ] Thou hast preserved me alive. I live with, for, and to THEE. I am thy willing domestic, the son of thine handmaid-like one born in thy house of a woman already thy property. I am a servant, son of thy servant, made free by thy kindness; but, refusing to go out, I have had my ear bored to thy door-post, and am to continue by free choice in thy house for ever. He alludes here to the case of the servant who, in the year of jubilee being entitled to his liberty, refused to leave his master's house; and suffered his ear to be bored to the door-post, as a proof that by his own consent he agreed to continue in his master's house for ever.

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 __________________________________________________________________
