I will pay thee my vows.
I will pay thee my vowes.
The third and highest degree of this Song is, Vows; I will pay thee my vows. And here among vows, I might sooner then with Burnt offerings, lose the time, your patience, and my self. This vow was no meritorious or supererogatory work in David. But though the Law generally binds him to Gods service, yet to some particular act of Gods service, he may newly bind himself by a vow. So kJacob vowed a vow, saying; If God will be with me, &c. This stone that I have set for a pillar, shall be Gods house; and of all that thou shalt give me, I will surely give the Tenth unto thee. Our Prophet did vow performance of that duty, to which without vowing he was obliged. Psal. 119. I have vowed or sworn, and will perform it: that 2I will keep thy righteous judgements.

But though the Lavv generally binds him to Gods seruice, yet to some particular act of Gods seruice, he may newly binde himselfe by a vow. So kIacob vowed a vow, saying; If God will be vvith me, &c. This stone that I haue set for a pillar, shall be Gods house; and of all that thou shalt giue me, I will surely giue the Tenth vnto thee. Our Prophet did vow performance of that duty, to which without vowing hee was obliged.
