Psalm cxvi, 13, a phrase of nearly the same import as
the former, a cup of thanksgiving, of blessing the Lord for his saving
mercies. We see, in 2 Macc. vi, 27, that the Jews of Egypt, in their
festivals for deliverance, offered cups of salvation. The Jews have at
this day cups of thanksgiving, which are blessed, in their marriage
ceremonies, and in entertainments made at the circumcision of their
children. Some commentators think that “the cup of salvation” was a
libation of wine poured on the victim sacrificed on thanksgiving
occasions, according to the law of Moses, Exod. xxix, 40.
