1. 116:1 This psalm is the fourth of the 6 Egyptian ‘Hallel’ psalms (113—118). This psalm is about one man's trouble. God saved him when he thought that he would die. Verses 5-7 tell us about God. He loves people, and he is kind and good to them. He gives them help when they need it. Verses 12-18 tell us what the writer promises to do. He asks what he can give to God to say ‘thank you.’ He says that he will make an offering to God when he meets with all the people at the temple in Jerusalem. He wants all the people to know that God has been very kind to him.
