Psalms 116

Psalms 116:3

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me.

I was even in the very pangs of death and brought down to the very brim of the grave; and was, as it were, given up unto the estate of death.

Psalms 116:11

I said in my haste, All men are liars.

I said, in the extremity of my sudden fear and perplexity, that all men are liars; that even those prophets, which had foretold me the certainty of my succession to the kingdom of Israel, were but deceivers, and no credit was to be given to their prediction.

Psalms 116:13

I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

I will in my thankful peace-offerings, take up the cup of blessing, and joyfully acknowledge the salvation, which God hath wrought for me, and praise his name for my so gracious deliverance.

Psalms 116:15

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

The Lord makes high account of the life of his holy ones; so as he will not suffer them to miscarry, but will rescue them from death, and disappoint the attempts of their enemies.
