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 captured us in your net and laid the burden of slavery on our backs.

12 Then you put a leader over us. We went through fire and flood, but you brought us to a place of great abundance.

13 Now I come to your Temple with burnt offerings to fulfill the vows I made to you—

14 yes, the sacred vows that I made when I was in deep trouble.

15 That is why I am sacrificing burnt offerings to you— the best of my rams as a pleasing aroma, and a sacrifice of bulls and male goats. Interlude
