Salmi 56:12 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 56:12

Thy vows [are] upon me, O God
Which he had made to him in the time of his distress and trouble, and which he looked upon himself under obligation to perform; they were debts upon him he ought to pay off; they were with him; they were fresh in his mind and memory; he had not forgot them, which is often the case when trouble is over; and he found his heart inclined to make them good;

I will render praises unto thee;
which explains what he meant by his vows; namely, sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving to the Lord: when he was in distress, he had vowed and promised, that, if the Lord would deliver him, he would praise his name, and give him all the glory; and now he resolves to fulfil what he had promised.

Salmi 56:12 In-Context

10 Coll’aiuto di Dio celebrerò la sua parola; coll’aiuto dell’Eterno celebrerò la sua parola.

11 In Dio confido e non temerò; che mi può far l’uomo?

12 Tengo presenti i voti che t’ho fatti, o Dio; io t’offrirò sacrifizi di lode;

13 poiché tu hai riscosso l’anima mia dalla morte, hai guardato i miei piedi da caduta, ond’io cammini, al cospetto di Dio, nella luce de’ viventi.
