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 (65-11) Thou hast brought us into a net, thou hast laid afflictions on our back:
12 (65-12) Thou hast set men over our heads. We have passed through fire and water, and thou hast brought us out into a refreshment.
13 (65-13) I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
14 (65-14) Which my lips have uttered, And my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
15 (65-15) I will offer up to thee holocausts full of marrow, with burnt offerings of rams: I will offer to thee bullocks with goats.
