Psalm 66:13-14 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 66:13-20

The psalmist, having before stirred up all people, and all God's people in particular, to bless the Lord, here stirs up himself and engages himself to do it. I. In his devotions to his God, Ps. 66:13-15. He had called upon others to sing God's praises and to make a joyful noise with them; but, for himself, his resolutions go further, and he will praise God, 1. By costly sacrifices, which, under the law, were offered to the honour of God. All people had not wherewithal to offer these... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 66:13

I will go into thy house with burnt offerings ,.... The psalmist here represents the saints and faithful in those times, who being delivered out of all their troubles, and brought into a large, free, plentiful, and comfortable condition, will come together into the place of public worship, and there unite in their sacrifices of praise to God; will come and present themselves as a whole burnt offering to the Lord; will come with hearts inflamed with love to God and one another, which is more... read more

Which my lips have uttered ,.... Or "opened" F5 פצו "aperuerunt", Pagninus, Montanus, Vatablus, Gejerus. ; publicly and distinctly declared, and from which there is no going back; see Judges 11:33 ; and my mouth hath spoken when I was in trouble ; this refers to the time when the people of God were under antichristian tyranny and bondage; and when they vowed and promised, that, if the Lord would deliver them, they would give him all praise and glory. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 66:13

I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings - Now that thou hast restored us to our own land, and established us in it, we will establish thy worship, and offer all the various kinds of sacrifices required by thy law. I will pay thee my vows - We often vowed, if thou wouldst deliver us from our bondage, to worship and serve thee alone: now thou hast heard our prayers, and hast delivered us; therefore will we fulfill our engagements to thee. The old Psalter gives this a pious turn: - I... read more

When I was in trouble - This is generally the time when good resolutions are formed, and vows made; but how often are these forgotten when affliction and calamity are removed! read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 66:13

Verse 13 13I will come into thy house with burnt offerings Hitherto the Psalmist has spoken in the name of the people at large. Now he emphatically gives expression to his own private feelings, and calls upon them, by his example, to engage individually in the exercises of religion, it being impossible that there should be any hearty common consent unless each entered seriously upon the service of thanksgiving for himself and apart. We are taught that when God at any time succours us in our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 66:1-20

God in history. It has been said that "History is philosophy teaching by example;" but we are taught in the Psalms to take a higher view, and to recognize God in history. It is only as we do this that we can rejoice and give thanks. I. GOD 'S HAND SHOULD BE SEEN IN HISTORY . First there is the call (verses 1, 2). Then the reason is given (verse 3). We are brought face to face with God. We are confronted with the awful manifestations of his power. The world is not a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 66:8-15

Here we reach the heart of the psalm. The people are called upon to praise God for a recent deliverance from a long period of severe affliction and oppression at the hand of enemies ( Psalms 66:8-12 ), and to join in the sacrifices which are about to be offered to God in payment of the vows made during the time of trouble ( Psalms 66:13-15 ). As the writer ascribes to himself both the making of the vows and the offering of the sacrifices, he must have been the leader of the nation at the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 66:13

I will go into thy house with burnt offerings; I will pay thee my vows . In the old world the strict performance of vows was always held to be one of the main obligations of religion. A vow was of the nature of a compact with God, and to break it was an act of flagrant dishonesty, from which men shrank. The Mosaic Law sanctioned vows of various kinds, as the vowing of children to the service of God (Le Psalms 27:1-8 ; 1 Samuel 1:11 ); the vow of the Nazarite ( Numbers 6:2-21 ); and... read more
