12

EXPLANATION

Verse 12. To thee. Lit. “thy vows.” Bible.—Houbigant chooses rather to follow the Syriac, “with thee, O God, are my vows:” which is clearer, though our version may be well explained, “I will perform my vows to thee,” (Bert.) the sacrifice of praises, in this psalm. Calmet.—I will endeavour to comply with my engagements and vows. Worthington.
