Psalms 66:13 Meaning and 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 than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices, ( Mark 12:33 ) ;

I will pay thee my vows;
thanksgivings promised in time of distress, as follows; see ( Psalms 50:14 ) .

Psalms 66:13 In-Context

11 You brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins.
12 You made men ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water, Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance.
13 I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings; I shall pay You my vows,
14 Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I was in distress.
15 I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat beasts, With the smoke of rams; I shall make an offering of bulls with male goats. Selah.
