Psalms in Poetic Form: PSALM 116

Click here to read PSALM 116 in poetic form.

Background

Psalm 116 is in the Deuteronomy Book of the Psalms (Psalms 107-150). These 44 Psalms, like the Book of Deuteronomy in the Old Testament, show God’s Word as the source of salvation, deliverance, and healing. This would be fully carried out in the life of the coming Messiah, the living Word, Jesus Christ. Psalm 116 declares God delivering Israel from Egypt and bringing them across the Jordan into the promised land.
