My spirit has been lifted and my heart encouraged in reading this Psalm.

“Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live” (2).

“Then called I upon the name of the LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul” (4).

“The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me” (6).

“Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee” (7).

“For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling” (8).

“O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds” (16).

“I see what you mean by lifting and encouraging,” you might say, “but what’s with the title of this post?”

“What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?” (12).

What’s my answer?

What’s yours?
