This verse in Psalms 66
Commentary
3 notes on this verseI will. The child of God is so sensible of his own personal indebtedness to grace, that he feels that he must utter a song of his own. He joins in the common thanksgiving, but since the best public form must fail to meet each individual case, he makes sure that the special mercies received by him shall not be forgotten, for he records them with his own pen, and sings of theme with his own lips. I will go into thy house with burnt offerings; the usual sacrifices of godly men.
This site's exposition
I will enter Your house with burnt offerings
on Psalms 66:13-15
The voice narrows from the congregation to one worshiper. He enters the house with burnt offerings and pays vows his lips spoke when he was in distress. Spurgeon marks the abundance of it, fatlings and rams and bulls and goats brought together.

(2.) The vows which we made when we were in trouble must not be forgotten when the trouble is over, but be carefully performed, for better it is not to vow than to vow and not pay.
