4. In holy Scripture there is mention made of ndrink-offerings, which were a certain quantity of wine that used to be poured out before the Lord: as the very notation of the word importeth, coming from oa root that signifieth to pour out. As the meat-offerings, so the drink-offerings were brought to the Lord in way of gratulation and thanksgiving. pSome therefore in allusion hereunto so expound this text, as a promise and vow of the Psalmist, to testify his public gratitude by such an external and solemn rite as in the law was prescribed. This he termeth a cup, because that drink-offering was contained in a cup, and poured out thereof: and he adds this epithet Salvation, because that rite was an acknowledgement of salvation, preservation and deliverance from the Lord.
