Psalm 116
1. The psalmist professes his love and duty to God for his deliverance
12. He studies to be thankful














I will offer to You
This phrase begins with a personal commitment to God, indicating an act of worship and devotion. The Hebrew root for "offer" is "nadar," which means to vow or make a promise. In the ancient Israelite context, offerings were a significant part of worship, symbolizing gratitude, repentance, or dedication. The psalmist's use of "I will offer" suggests a voluntary and heartfelt act, emphasizing the personal relationship between the worshiper and God. It reflects a deep sense of gratitude and acknowledgment of God's goodness and mercy.

a sacrifice of thanksgiving
The term "sacrifice" in Hebrew is "zebach," which traditionally refers to an offering made to God, often involving the shedding of blood. However, in this context, it is a "sacrifice of thanksgiving," which is a "todah" offering. This type of sacrifice was not about atonement but about expressing gratitude for God's deliverance and blessings. Historically, thanksgiving sacrifices were communal events, where the worshiper would share the offering with family and friends, celebrating God's faithfulness. This phrase underscores the importance of gratitude in the believer's life, recognizing that all blessings come from God.

and call on the name of the LORD
To "call on the name of the LORD" is a phrase rich with meaning. The Hebrew word for "call" is "qara," which means to cry out, proclaim, or invoke. This action signifies a deep reliance on God, acknowledging His sovereignty and power. The "name of the LORD" refers to God's revealed character and essence, as understood in the covenant relationship with Israel. In biblical times, calling on God's name was an act of worship, trust, and dependence, often done in times of need or as an expression of praise. This phrase highlights the psalmist's trust in God's continued presence and help, reinforcing the intimate and covenantal relationship between God and His people.

Verse 17. - I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Scarcely an actual sacrifice. Rather, simple thanksgiving, which, from a sincere heart, is the best sacrifice (see Psalm 50:14 and Hosea 14:2). And will call upon the Name of the Lord (comp. vers. 4 and 13).
