Psalms 66:13
I will enter Your house with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my vows to You—
BSB
ASV
I will come into thy house with burnt-offerings; I will pay thee my vows,
KJV
I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
I 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.
(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.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

If a man makes a vow to the LORD or swears an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word; he must do everything he has promised.
If you make a vow to the LORD your God, do not be slow to keep it, because He will surely require it of you, and you will be guilty of sin.
