Th

e Cup Of Salva on

“What shall I render unto the LORD for all his bene ts toward me? I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people” (Psa 116:12-13).

God’s all-suf cient, amazing grace is the central theme of Psalm 116.

Again and again, the Lord helps us in our weakness and saves us when we are powerless to help ourselves (Isaiah 40:29–31; 2 Corinthians 12:9; Philippians 4:13). Recognizing his enormous debt of gratitude, the psalmist asks, “What shall I render unto the LORD for all his bene ts toward me?” I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. The cup of salvation the psalmist lifted in praise to the Lord? Most likely, it was a symbolic reference to the drink offering prescribed in Leviticus 23:13. At the yearly Feast of Firstfruits, the Israelites were to submit a drink offering of “a quarter of a hin of wine” (about one quart) to God in gratefulness for His salvation and continued provision in the Promised Land. The liquid offering was poured out on the altar, accompanied by other contributions from products of the land. These offerings were given as reminders that the rich fruits of the harvest were all from God and depended on His favor.

Drink offerings were presented in the Bible to thank God for His salvation. After the Lord appeared to Jacob at Bethel and changed his name to Israel, Jacob set up a stone pillar to mark where God had met with him and spoken to him. Then “he poured out a drink offering on it” (Genesis 35:14)

This Old Testament saint courageously posed his question, which expressed his amazement over our Lord’s work of redemption and provision. This question then prompted his worshipful response.

Likewise, we too can prayerfully ask similar questions, and then respond in worship like the Psalmist. We can do this because we have the Holy Spirit empowering us. “Jesus, open our eyes afresh to you and your works. Let your Spirit ow out of us in response to your love and care of us.”
