In this verse, "Please deliver my soul'" is translated in another version, "Please, Lord, save me!" This thought continues, "He has saved me from death. ..." This speaks of Jesus, and his advent on earth as our Savior. And since these two events are parallel, it means that Jesus is the "Lord" spoken of in Ps. 116, and thus, the God of the Old testament.
Not many people know this, but it is true. It also means that we must change our theology and stop looking at Jesus as a lesser figure than God, but God himself.
Knowing that Jesus is the OT God adds meaning to our worship. Because it was Emmanuel, God with us, who has come to save us.
As the Christmas song says, "O come, O come, Emmanuel, And ransome captive Israel, that mourns in lonely exile here, until the Son of God appear."
The term "Son of God" is a reference to God's appearance on earth as a human being. He would be called God's Son, and known to us this way, and at the same time still be God.
