Psalms
Chapter
116
1~~I
love {'ahab} Jehovah/God,
because
He has heard
{shama` - to 'hear listen and follow his request'}
my
voice and my supplications/prayers {tachanuwn}.
{Note: King Hezekiah with his face to the wall. Sin unto death prophesized by Isaiah 38:2 he confessed his sins and was forgiven. He asked God for deliverance and was delivered.}
{Orientation
to the Grace of God}
2~~
Because He has inclined his ear unto me,
therefore
will I call upon Him as long as I live.
3~~The
sorrows of death surrounded me,
and
the pains of Sheol
{sh@'owl - often called 'hell'}
catch
hold upon me.
I
found trouble and sorrow
{meaning under great pressure}.
4~~Then
I called upon the name of Jehovah/God,
"O
Jehovah/God, I beseech You,
deliver/save
{malat} my soul {nephesh}."
5~~"Gracious
{channuwn} is Jehovah/God,
and
righteous {tsaddiyq}.
Yes,
our Elohiym/Godhead . . . {is} merciful {racham}."
6~~
Jehovah/God preserves
the
simple/naiveté {the clucks} {p@thiy}.
I was brought low, and He helped me.
7~~Return
unto your rest/'resting place' {manowach},
O
my soul,
for
Jehovah/God has dealt beneficially {gamal} {with you}.
8~~For
You {God}
have
delivered/saved {chalets}
my
soul from death,
my
eyes from tears,
and
my feet from falling.
9~~That
I will keep on Walking
before/'in
the presence of' Jehovah/God
in
the land of the living {chay}.
10``I
'believed in the past with results
that
last forever' {'aman - perfect tense},
therefore
I keep on 'communicating categorically' {dabar}.
I
was greatly humbled {`anah}.
{Note: When we say 'Amen', it is a transliteration from the Hebrew 'aman which means 'I believe it'.}
11``I
said {'amar}in my haste,
"All
men . . . {are} liars."
12``What
shall I render/'cause to return'{shuwb} to Jehovah/God
for
all His benefits/'acts of Grace' {tagmuwl} {toward me}?
13~~I
will 'lift up' {nasa'}
the
cup of salvation {y@shuw`ah}
{the cup is empty - the gospel message is 'lifting up the cup' and
acceptance is drinking'},
therefore,
I will call upon the name of Jehovah/God.
14``I
will keep on recompensing {shalam}
my
vows/promises {neder} to Jehovah/God
before
His people.
15~~Precious/'of
high value'
in
the sight of Jehovah/God . . . {is}
the
death {maveth}
of
His 'faithful ones'/'set apart to God ones' {chaciyd}.
16``O
Jehovah/God, truly
I
. . . {am} your slave/servant!
I
. . . {am} your slave/servant!
{ `ebed `ebed - Doubling in the Hebrew is very strong!}
The
son of your maidservant
{a low position in the household - recognizing humility}.
You
have freed me from slavery
{idiom: literally 'loosed my bonds/chains (pathach mowcer)}.
17``
Offering sacrifice, I will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving!
{zabach zabach - doubling is very strong again in the Hebrew},
and call upon the name of Jehovah/God.
18``I
will keep on recompensing {shalam}
my
vows/promises {neder} to Jehovah/God
before
His people.
19``In
the courts {chatser}
of
Jehovah's/God's house {bayith},
in
the middle of you, O Jerusalem.
Praise
Jahh! {Jahh - short for Jehovah/God}!
{halal - Piel imperative mood - this is an order}
