Psa 66:13 | MHM | STEP | David Resolves to Praise God; David Declaring What God Has Done for His Soul After urging everyone to praise the Lord , the psalmist now promises to praise God himself. He is determined to worship God with sincere devotion, both by offering sacrifices and by sharing his personal story of God’s goodness. The psalmist wants other believers to hear and learn from what God has done for him, especially the blessings he received in his soul. v. 13–15 : David promises to worship God with costly sacrifices. He says, I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings (Psalm 66:13 ). He wants to give the very best, bringing burnt sacrifices of fat animals, not the weak or sick ones. David knows that God deserves the best we have. He will also bring bullocks and goats, and include incense, which represents prayers rising up to God. David is willing to give generously and offer what costs him something, not just what is easy. He also promises to keep the vows he made during times of trouble. When we ask for God’s help and make promises, we should remember to keep those promises after God saves us (Psalm 66:14 ). It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not keep it.
