Footnotes

  1. 116:13 The cup of salvation: probably the libation of wine poured out in gratitude for rescue, cf. Ex 25:29; Nm 15:5, 7, 10.
  2. 116:15 Dear in the eyes of the Lord: the meaning is that the death of God’s faithful is grievous to God, not that God is pleased with the death, cf. Ps 72:14. In Wis 3:5–6, God accepts the death of the righteous as a sacrificial burnt offering.

13 I will lift up the cup of salvation
    and call on the name(A) of the Lord.
14 I will fulfill my vows(B) to the Lord
    in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight(C) of the Lord
    is the death of his faithful servants.(D)
