Psalms 116:13 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

I will take. — Or, lift up.

Cup of salvation. — The drink offering or oblation which accompanied festival celebrations (Numbers 29:19, &c). Others think of the Passover cup mentioned Matthew 26:27, when this psalm as part of the Hallel was sung. Others, again, take the figurative sense of cup — i.e., portion, lot, as in Psalms 16:5.

Psalms 116:13
