Psalms 22:25

My praise [shall be] of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

Ver. 25. My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation] Where it may be most public and exemplary. They that neglect public service for private do but read their own indictment, pray their own punishment.

I will pay my vows, &c.] My peace offerings vowed in my distress: these are heavily paid by most people, according to that Italian proverb, The danger once escaped, the saint is defrauded. See David's care, Psalms 116:1,19. and elsewhere.
