Psalm 66:13-15 NIV

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 66:14

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

I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings ,....

Adam Clarke

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

John Calvin

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

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 66:15

Verse 15 15I will offer unto thee burnt-sacrifices of fatlings. We must suppose the speaker to be either David or one of the more considerable men of the nation, for none in humbler circumstances could have offered rich sacrifices of this kind. It is probable that David was the author of the psalm, and here he signifies his intention to show a kingly liberality in his offerings. The reason why God ordered victims to be offered as an expression of thanksgiving was, as is well known, to teach the... read more
