SEV Biblia, Chapter 56:12
Sobre mí, oh Dios, están tus promesas; te tributaré alabanzas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 55:12
Verse 12. Thy vows are upon me ] I have promised in the most solemn manner to be thy servant; to give my whole life to thee; and to offer for my preservation sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving. Reader, what hast thou vowed to God? To renounce the devil and all his works, the pomps and vanities of this wicked world, and all the sinful desires of the flesh; to keep God's holy word and commandment, and to walk before him all the days of thy life. These things hast thou vowed; and these vows are upon thee. Wilt thou pay them?
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-13 - The heavy and continued trials through which many of the Lord's people have passed, should teach us to be silent and patient under lighte crosses. Yet we are often tempted to repine and despond under smal sorrows. For this we should check ourselves. David comforts himself, in his distress and fear, that God noticed all his grievances and all his griefs. God has a bottle and a book for his people's tears, both the tears for their sins, and those for their afflictions. He observes the with tender concern. Every true believer may boldly say, The Lord is m helper, and then I will not fear what man shall do unto me; for man ha no power but what is given him from above. Thy vows are upon me, Lord; not as a burden, but as that by which I am known to be the servant; as a bridle that restrains me from what would be hurtful, an directs me in the way of my duty. And vows of thankfulness properl accompany prayers for mercy. If God deliver us from sin, either from doing it, or by his pardoning mercy, he has delivered our souls from death, which is the wages of sin. Where the Lord has begun a good wor he will carry it on and perfect it. David hopes that God would keep his even from the appearance of sin. We should aim in all our desires an expectations of deliverance, both from sin and trouble, that we may d the better service to the Lord; that we may serve him without fear. In his grace has delivered our souls from the death of sin, he will brin us to heaven, to walk before him for ever in light __________________________________________________________________
