Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 116:13

"I will take the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of Jehovah." — Psalms 116:13 (ASV)

I will take. —Or, lift up.

Cup of salvation. —The drink offering or oblation which accompanied festival celebrations (Numbers 29:19 and following). Others think of the Passover cup mentioned Matthew 26:27, when this psalm, as part of the Hallel, was sung. Others, again, take the figurative sense of cup—i.e., portion, lot, as in Psalm 16:5.
