Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
in my haste--literally, "terror," or "agitation," produced by his affliction (compare Psa 31:22).
John Gill Bible Commentary
What shall I render unto the Lord?.... He considers the Lord only as the author and giver of his mercies, and has nothing to say of his own merits, nor of other persons, who might be instruments of good to him; but is for giving all the glory to God: not as though he could render anything proportional or equivalent to what he had received, but as having a grateful sense of mercies, and willing, to express it; though at a loss, in a great measure, in what manner to do it, and therefore puts this question to himself and others: for all his benefits towards me; or, "all his benefits are upon me" (m). This being a clause of itself; and shows what moved him to put the question he did; a sense of divine favours was impressed upon him, a load of benefits lay on him, and he wanted to ease himself in expressions of gratitude. These benefits were the blessings of nature and providence; his being, and the preservation of it, food, raiment, &c. and the blessings of grace; spiritual blessings, all things pertaining to life and godliness, sanctification, adoption, pardon, justification, and eternal life. These may well be called "benefits", since they spring entirely from the free grace of God; and they were many, more than could be counted and reckoned up, and set in order before the Lord; and yet he was desirous that none of them might be forgotten, but that praise might be rendered to the Lord for them all. (m) So Montanus, Junius & Tremellius, Cocceius, Michaelis.
Psalms 116:11
The LORD Has Heard My Voice
10I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.” 11In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!”

The Gift of Revival
By Bill McLeod89148:38RevivalPSA 116:11ISA 61:1ROM 12:11CO 1:7EPH 4:26EPH 4:29COL 4:6In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of using speech that is edifying and gracious, as it can minister grace to the ears of listeners. He encourages believers to always be ready to give an answer to those who ask about their hope, with meekness and fear. The preacher also emphasizes the need for a clean heart and mouth, urging believers to refrain from stealing in any form, including relying on unemployment without seeking employment. He highlights the urgency of sharing the gospel with others, using the example of a group of believers in Detroit who experienced tremendous growth through prayer and soul-winning. The sermon concludes with a reminder to put away lying and to speak truthfully with one's neighbor.
Worship in the Midst of War
By Jono Sims55740:40DEU 27:14JOS 8:30PSA 116:11MAT 6:33JAS 1:21In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of faithful preaching and declares that the faithful man of God is called to declare the whole counsel of God, regardless of popularity. He references the apostle Paul and his commitment to preaching the truth. The preacher also shares a personal experience where he was criticized for preaching on the wrath of God, but he defends his approach by pointing to the theme of righteousness in the book of Romans. He then draws a parallel to the story of Joshua in the Bible, highlighting the importance of worshiping and praising God amidst battles and conquests.
False Pretenders
By A.W. Tozer0DeceptionTrue FulfillmentPSA 116:11MAT 19:16ROM 3:4A.W. Tozer addresses the deception faced by those alienated from God, emphasizing that true peace and happiness cannot be found in worldly success, wealth, or morality. He highlights the futility of relying on external factors for inner fulfillment, citing the rich young ruler's quest for eternal life as a reflection of this emptiness. Tozer asserts that the human pursuit of success is fundamentally flawed, as it is based on false pretenses. He reminds us that every individual must confront their own spiritual condition and make a choice regarding their relationship with God.
