Psalm 116:1ESV·author unknown

I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy.

John Calvin Reformed

David has endured terrible torment and danger, but God preserved him when all hope would have failed. His deliverance makes God's power so conspicuous that gratitude is the only response he can offer for such innumerable benefits.

C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist

I love the Lord. A blessed declaration: every believer ought to be able to declare without the slightest hesitation, "I love the Lord." It was required under the law, but was never produced in the heart of man except by the grace of God, and upon gospel principles.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian

God heard David's prayer and inclined His ear with condescending tenderness toward groanings that cannot be uttered. Such answers kindle love for God and resolve to call upon Him all our days, since we have seen Him answer despite our unworthiness and weakness.
