Definitions for Psalms 76:11
Clarke's Psalms 76:11 Bible Commentary
Vow, and pay unto the Lord - Bind yourselves to him, and forget not your obligations.
Let all that be round about him - All the neighboring nations, who shall see God's judgments against his enemies, should
Bring presents unto him - Give him that homage which is due unto him.
That ought to be feared - למורא lammora, "to the terrible One;" lest they be consumed as the Assyrians have been.
Barnes's Psalms 76:11 Bible Commentary
vow, and pay unto the Lord your God - That is, Pay your vows, or sacredly observe them. On the word "vow," see the notes at Psalm 22:25. Compare Psalm 50:14; Psalm 56:12; Psalm 66:13. The word refers to a voluntary promise made to God.
Let all that be round about him - All that worship him, or that profess to honor him.
Bring presents - Bring gifts or offerings; things expressive of gratitude and homage. See the notes at Psalm 45:12. Compare Isaiah 16:1, note; Isaiah 18:7, note; Isaiah 60:5, note.
Unto him that ought to be feared - Margin, "to fear." The meaning would be well expressed by the word dread; "to the Dread One." It was not to inspire fear that the presents were to be brought; but they were to be brought to One who had shown that he was the proper object of dread or reverence.
Wesley's Psalms 76:11 Bible Commentary
76:11 Vow - A sacrifice of thanksgiving for this wonderful deliverance.Let all - All the neighboring nations submit to the God of Israel.
