Psa 76:11 | MHM | STEP | v. 11-12 : The psalmist calls everyone to honor God. He says, “Vow, and pay unto the Lord your God” (Psalm 76:11 ). This means we should promise to serve God and keep our promises. We should bring him our gifts and worship, because he deserves our respect. God is called “the fear,” meaning he is the one we should truly respect and honor (Genesis 31:42; Isaiah 8:13 ). God can humble even the greatest rulers: “He shall cut off the spirit of princes; he is terrible to the kings of the earth” (Psalm 76:12 ). If they do not submit to him, they will one day be afraid of his judgment (Revelation 6:16 ). The wise choice is to honor and obey God now, because he is the true King over all.
