神啊，我向你所许的愿在我身上；我要将感谢祭献给你。

上帝啊，我要向你还所许的愿，我要以感谢祭回报你；

血氣之倫。其如予何。

I am under vows to you, my God; I will present my thank offerings to you.

God, I have made promises to you. I will bring my thank offerings to you.

I must perform my vows to you, O God; I will render thank offerings to you.

I am obligated by vows to you, God; I will make my thanksgiving sacrifices to you.

Your vows are binding upon me, God; I will render thanksgiving offerings to You.

Vows made to You are binding upon me, O God; I will render praises to You,

Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thank- offerings unto thee.

I am obligated by vows to You, God; I will make my thank offerings to You.

Thy vows[ are] upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

I am obligated to fulfill the vows I made to you, O God; I will give you the thank-offerings you deserve,

Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.

I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.My enemies retreated; they staggered and died when you appeared.

Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God, and keep the vows you made to the Most High.

Then God said to Jacob,“ Get ready and move to Bethel and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother, Esau.”So Jacob told everyone in his household,“ Get rid of all your pagan idols, purify yourselves, and put on clean clothing.We are now going to Bethel, where I will build an altar to the God who answered my prayers when I was in distress. He has been with me wherever I have gone.”

Make vows to the Lord your God, and keep them. Let everyone bring tribute to the Awesome One.

I will keep my promises to the Lord in the presence of all his people.The Lord cares deeply when his loved ones die.O Lord, I am your servant; yes, I am your servant, born into your household; you have freed me from my chains.I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord.I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people—in the house of the Lord in the heart of Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!

Then Jacob made this vow:“ If God will indeed be with me and protect me on this journey, and if he will provide me with food and clothing,and if I return safely to my father’s home, then the Lord will certainly be my God.And this memorial pillar I have set up will become a place for worshiping God, and I will present to God a tenth of everything he gives me.”

When the child was weaned, Hannah took him to the Tabernacle in Shiloh. They brought along a three year old bull for the sacrifice and a basket of flour and some wine.After sacrificing the bull, they brought the boy to Eli.“ Sir, do you remember me?” Hannah asked.“ I am the very woman who stood here several years ago praying to the Lord.I asked the Lord to give me this boy, and he has granted my request.Now I am giving him to the Lord, and he will belong to the Lord his whole life.” And they worshiped the Lord there.

When you make a promise to God, don’t delay in following through, for God takes no pleasure in fools. Keep all the promises you make to him.It is better to say nothing than to make a promise and not keep it.Don’t let your mouth make you sin. And don’t defend yourself by telling the Temple messenger that the promise you made was a mistake. That would make God angry, and he might wipe out everything you have achieved.

I’ve promised it once, and I’ll promise it again: I will obey your righteous regulations.

But as for me, I will sing about your power. Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress.O my Strength, to you I sing praises, for you, O God, are my refuge, the God who shows me unfailing love.

And she made this vow:“ O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, if you will look upon my sorrow and answer my prayer and give me a son, then I will give him back to you. He will be yours for his entire lifetime, and as a sign that he has been dedicated to the Lord, his hair will never be cut.”

Now I come to your Temple with burnt offerings to fulfill the vows I made to you—yes, the sacred vows that I made when I was in deep trouble.

A man who makes a vow to the Lord or makes a pledge under oath must never break it. He must do exactly what he said he would do.“ If a young woman makes a vow to the Lord or a pledge under oath while she is still living at her father’s home,and her father hears of the vow or pledge and does not object to it, then all her vows and pledges will stand.But if her father refuses to let her fulfill the vow or pledge on the day he hears of it, then all her vows and pledges will become invalid. The Lord will forgive her because her father would not let her fulfill them.“ Now suppose a young woman makes a vow or binds herself with an impulsive pledge and later marries.If her husband learns of her vow or pledge and does not object on the day he hears of it, her vows and pledges will stand.But if her husband refuses to accept her vow or impulsive pledge on the day he hears of it, he nullifies her commitments, and the Lord will forgive her.If, however, a woman is a widow or is divorced, she must fulfill all her vows and pledges.“ But suppose a woman is married and living in her husband’s home when she makes a vow or binds herself with a pledge.If her husband hears of it and does not object to it, her vow or pledge will stand.But if her husband refuses to accept it on the day he hears of it, her vow or pledge will be nullified, and the Lord will forgive her.So her husband may either confirm or nullify any vows or pledges she makes to deny herself.But if he does not object on the day he hears of it, then he is agreeing to all her vows and pledges.If he waits more than a day and then tries to nullify a vow or pledge, he will be punished for her guilt.”These are the regulations the Lord gave Moses concerning relationships between a man and his wife, and between a father and a young daughter who still lives at home.

Rise up, O Lord, in all your power. With music and singing we celebrate your mighty acts.

In that day you will sing:“ I will praise you, O Lord! You were angry with me, but not anymore. Now you comfort me.
