Psalm 116:17 KJV
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving
And will call upon the name of the Lord.
It is about prayer. The human experience of gratitude
is close to prayer. the experience of heartfelt gratitude
takes us even farther but heartfelt thanksgiving is
another step again !
Calling upon the name of the Lord,
with heartfelt thanksgiving..... is grace in prayer.
Psalm 116; 14, 18-19 RSV.
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all the people.
18 I will pay my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all his people
19 in the courts of the house of the LORD
in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.
Luke 20:37-38 NKJV
37 But even Moses showed in the burning bush passage
that the dead are raised, when he called the LORD
"the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob"
38 For he is not the God of the dead but of the living,
for all live to him.
So when we offer the sacrifice of thanksgiving in the presence
of ALL his people, in the courts of the house of the LORD
to whom all men are alive and present,
"we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses"
Hebrews 12:1 NKJV
Psalm 116: 9 I will walk before the LORD
In the land of the living.
We realize that in walking before the LORD
we are compassed about with the household of God.
Now you are no longer strangers or guests,
but fellow citizens of the holy people:
you are of the household of God.
EPHESIANS 2:19

Every time we sing this Psalm,
we sing twice "I will pay my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all his people."
It is true:-
" A psalm a day helps you work rest and pray."
Psalm 116 reminds us that we work, rest and pray
as members of the household of God.
indeed our fellowship is with the Father
and with his Son Jesus Christ. 1 John 1:3 ESV
