In ancient Israel, lifting a cup was a symbolic gesture often associated with offering a drink offering to God, as seen in various Old Testament practices. The "cup of salvation" can be understood as a metaphor for the deliverance and blessings received from God. This imagery is reminiscent of the Passover meal, where a cup of wine is lifted in remembrance of God's deliverance from Egypt. The cup also foreshadows the Last Supper, where Jesus speaks of the cup as the new covenant in His blood (<a href="/luke/22-20.htm">Luke 22:20</a>), symbolizing the ultimate salvation through His sacrifice. The act of lifting the cup is a public declaration of gratitude and acknowledgment of God's saving power.<p><b>and call on the name of the LORD</b><br>Calling on the name of the LORD is a recurring theme in the Psalms and throughout Scripture, signifying prayer, worship, and reliance on God. This phrase emphasizes the personal relationship between the believer and God, highlighting trust and dependence on His character and promises. In the Old Testament, calling on God's name was often associated with invoking His presence and power, as seen in <a href="/genesis/4-26.htm">Genesis 4:26</a> and <a href="/1_kings/18-24.htm">1 Kings 18:24</a>. It reflects a heart posture of humility and faith, recognizing God's sovereignty and willingness to save. This act of calling on the LORD is also prophetic, pointing to the New Testament teaching that salvation is found in no one else, for "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" (<a href="/romans/10-13.htm">Romans 10:13</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/116.htm">Psalm 116</a>, traditionally believed to be King David, who expresses gratitude and devotion to God for deliverance from distress.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal presence and faithfulness to His people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_cup_of_salvation.htm">The Cup of Salvation</a></b><br>A metaphorical expression representing the deliverance and blessings received from God, possibly alluding to a ritual or symbolic act of thanksgiving.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/gratitude_for_salvation.htm">Gratitude for Salvation</a></b><br>Recognize and express gratitude for the salvation and deliverance God provides.

It has been usual to explain this of actual participation in the contents of a cup offered at a sacrificial meal, and then passed round to the worshippers. But there is no clear evidence of any such usage, except in connection with the Passover, which cannot here be in question. Hengstenberg there fore proposes to regard the phrase as a mere metaphor, like the "cup of trembling" (<a href="/isaiah/51-17.htm">Isaiah 51:17, 22</a>), and understands the psalmist to mean that he will gladly and thankfully receive God's mercy vouchsafed to him, and thus show his gratitude for it. <span class="cmt_word">And call upon the Name of the Lord</span> (comp. vers. 4 and 17). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/psalms/116-13.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">I will lift</span><br /><span class="heb">אֶשָּׂ֑א</span> <span class="translit">(’eś·śā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5375.htm">Strong's 5375: </a> </span><span class="str2">To lift, carry, take</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the cup</span><br /><span class="heb">כּוֹס־</span> <span class="translit">(kō·ws-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3563.htm">Strong's 3563: </a> </span><span class="str2">A cup, a lot, some unclean bird, an owl</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of salvation</span><br /><span class="heb">יְשׁוּע֥וֹת</span> <span class="translit">(yə·šū·‘ō·wṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3444.htm">Strong's 3444: </a> </span><span class="str2">Something saved, deliverance, aid, victory, prosperity</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and call</span><br /><span class="heb">אֶקְרָֽא׃</span> <span class="translit">(’eq·rā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7121.htm">Strong's 7121: </a> </span><span class="str2">To call, proclaim, read</span><br /><br /><span class="word">on the name</span><br /><span class="heb">וּבְשֵׁ֖ם</span> <span class="translit">(ū·ḇə·šêm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw, Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8034.htm">Strong's 8034: </a> </span><span class="str2">A name</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of the LORD.</span><br /><span class="heb">יְהוָ֣ה</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> </span><span class="str2">LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/psalms/116-13.htm">Psalm 116:13 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/psalms/116-13.htm">Psalm 116:13 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/psalms/116-13.htm">Psalm 116:13 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/psalms/116-13.htm">Psalm 116:13 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/psalms/116-13.htm">Psalm 116:13 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/psalms/116-13.htm">Psalm 116:13 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/psalms/116-13.htm">Psalm 116:13 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/psalms/116-13.htm">Psalm 116:13 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/psalms/116-13.htm">Psalm 116:13 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/psalms/116-13.htm">Psalm 116:13 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/psalms/116-13.htm">OT Poetry: Psalm 116:13 I will take the cup of salvation (Psalm Ps Psa.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/psalms/116-12.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Psalm 116:12"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Psalm 116:12" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/psalms/116-14.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Psalm 116:14"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Psalm 116:14" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
