“ Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High,

Bring me thank offerings, because I am your God. Carry out the promises you made to me, because I am the Most High God.

Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and perform your vows to the Most High,

Offer a thanksgiving sacrifice to God, and pay your vows to the Most High.

Offer God a sacrifice of thanksgiving And pay your vows to the Most High;

Offer to God thanksgiving, And pay your vows to the Most High.

Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; And pay thy vows unto the Most High;

Sacrifice a thank offering to God, and pay your vows to the Most High.

Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:

Present to God a thank-offering! Repay your vows to the sovereign One!

Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.

Therefore, let us offer through Jesus a continual sacrifice of praise to God, proclaiming our allegiance to his name.

I will fulfill my vows to you, O God, and will offer a sacrifice of thanks for your help.

“ When you make a vow to the Lord your God, be prompt in fulfilling whatever you promised him. For the Lord your God demands that you promptly fulfill all your vows, or you will be guilty of sin.

Bring your confessions, and return to the Lord. Say to him,“ Forgive all our sins and graciously receive us, so that we may offer you our praises.

What can I offer the Lord for all he has done for me?I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the Lord’s name for saving me.I will keep my promises to the Lord in the presence of all his people.

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

Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them.Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and sing joyfully about his glorious acts.

And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What’s more, you are his holy priests. Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God.

Look! A messenger is coming over the mountains with good news! He is bringing a message of peace. Celebrate your festivals, O people of Judah, and fulfill all your vows, for your wicked enemies will never invade your land again. They will be completely destroyed!

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.

And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice— the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.

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.

Then I will praise God’s name with singing, and I will honor him with thanksgiving.For this will please the Lord more than sacrificing cattle, more than presenting a bull with its horns and hooves.

But giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honors me. If you keep to my path, I will reveal to you the salvation of God.”

What mighty praise, O God, belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you,

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—

“ Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. If anyone makes a special vow to dedicate someone to the Lord by paying the value of that person,here is the scale of values to be used. A man between the ages of twenty and sixty is valued at fifty shekels of silver, as measured by the sanctuary shekel.A woman of that age is valued at thirty shekels of silver.A boy between the ages of five and twenty is valued at twenty shekels of silver; a girl of that age is valued at ten shekels of silver.A boy between the ages of one month and five years is valued at five shekels of silver; a girl of that age is valued at three shekels of silver.A man older than sixty is valued at fifteen shekels of silver; a woman of that age is valued at ten shekels of silver.If you desire to make such a vow but cannot afford to pay the required amount, take the person to the priest. He will determine the amount for you to pay based on what you can afford.“ If your vow involves giving an animal that is acceptable as an offering to the Lord, any gift to the Lord will be considered holy.You may not exchange or substitute it for another animal— neither a good animal for a bad one nor a bad animal for a good one. But if you do exchange one animal for another, then both the original animal and its substitute will be considered holy.If your vow involves an unclean animal— one that is not acceptable as an offering to the Lord— then you must bring the animal to the priest.He will assess its value, and his assessment will be final, whether high or low.If you want to buy back the animal, you must pay the value set by the priest, plus 20 percent.“ If someone dedicates a house to the Lord, the priest will come to assess its value. The priest’s assessment will be final, whether high or low.If the person who dedicated the house wants to buy it back, he must pay the value set by the priest, plus 20 percent. Then the house will again be his.“ If someone dedicates to the Lord a piece of his family property, its value will be assessed according to the amount of seed required to plant it— fifty shekels of silver for a field planted with five bushels of barley seed.If the field is dedicated to the Lord in the Year of Jubilee, then the entire assessment will apply.But if the field is dedicated after the Year of Jubilee, the priest will assess the land’s value in proportion to the number of years left until the next Year of Jubilee. Its assessed value is reduced each year.If the person who dedicated the field wants to buy it back, he must pay the value set by the priest, plus 20 percent. Then the field will again be legally his.But if he does not want to buy it back, and it is sold to someone else, the field can no longer be bought back.When the field is released in the Year of Jubilee, it will be holy, a field specially set apart for the Lord. It will become the property of the priests.“ If someone dedicates to the Lord a field he has purchased but which is not part of his family property,the priest will assess its value based on the number of years left until the next Year of Jubilee. On that day he must give the assessed value of the land as a sacred donation to the Lord.In the Year of Jubilee the field must be returned to the person from whom he purchased it, the one who inherited it as family property.( All the payments must be measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel, which equals twenty gerahs.)“ You may not dedicate a firstborn animal to the Lord, for the firstborn of your cattle, sheep, and goats already belong to him.However, you may buy back the firstborn of a ceremonially unclean animal by paying the priest’s assessment of its worth, plus 20 percent. If you do not buy it back, the priest will sell it at its assessed value.“ However, anything specially set apart for the Lord— whether a person, an animal, or family property— must never be sold or bought back. Anything devoted in this way has been set apart as holy, and it belongs to the Lord.No person specially set apart for destruction may be bought back. Such a person must be put to death.“ One tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain from the fields or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord and must be set apart to him as holy.If you want to buy back the Lord’s tenth of the grain or fruit, you must pay its value, plus 20 percent.Count off every tenth animal from your herds and flocks and set them apart for the Lord as holy.You may not pick and choose between good and bad animals, and you may not substitute one for another. But if you do exchange one animal for another, then both the original animal and its substitute will be considered holy and cannot be bought back.”These are the commands that the Lord gave through Moses on Mount Sinai for the Israelites.

Then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me. At his sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, singing and praising the Lord with music.

Praise the Lord! How good to sing praises to our God! How delightful and how fitting!

I will praise you in the great assembly. I will fulfill my vows in the presence of those who worship you.

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.

Then I will sing praises to your name forever as I fulfill my vows each day.
