Psalm 66:14 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

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

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

Vows fulfilled and experiences related. I. Vows FULFILLED . ( Psalms 66:13-15 .) 1 . When we are in trouble we make solemn vows of amendment and service . As the psalmist had done in his distress. 2 . The fulfilment of our religious vows will often call for great sacrifices . Not burnt offerings from us, but the more costly sacrifices of the heart and spirit. "The sacrifices of God are a broken heart and a contrite spirit." II. EXPERIENCES RELATED . ( Psalms... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 66:14

Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. Vows were commonly made in a time of trouble, or, at any rate, of difficulty (see 11:30 , 11:31 ; 1 Samuel 1:11 ). read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 66:14

Which my lips have uttered ... - Margin, “opened.” The Hebrew word, however - פצה pâtsâh - means properly to tear apart; to rend; and then, to open wide, as the mouth, for example - or the throat, - as wild beasts do, Psalms 22:13. Then it means to open the mouth in scorn Lamentations 2:16; Lamentations 3:46; and then, to utter hasty words, Job 35:16. The idea would be expressed by us by the phrases to bolt or blurt out; to utter hastily; or, to utter from a heart full and overflowing to... read more

Psalms 66:13-15. I will go, &c. The psalmist, having before endeavoured to excite all people in general, and all God’s people in particular, to praise the Lord, here declares it to be his own resolution to worship and serve him. I will go unto thy house, and set a good example to all my people; with burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows I will not present myself before thee with empty praises, but acknowledge thy benefits with burnt- offerings, and faithfully discharge whatever... read more
