The emphasis on fulfilling vows underscores the importance of integrity and faithfulness in one's relationship with God. This reflects the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where obedience and faithfulness are paramount. The call to make and fulfill vows is a reminder of the Israelites' covenant obligations, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/23-21.htm">Deuteronomy 23:21-23</a>, where vows are not to be delayed or neglected. This phrase also echoes the wisdom literature, such as <a href="/ecclesiastes/5-4.htm">Ecclesiastes 5:4-5</a>, which warns against making rash vows. In a broader sense, it points to the ultimate fulfillment of vows in Christ, who perfectly fulfilled the law and the prophets.<p><b>let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him</b><br>This phrase reflects the historical context of Israel as a nation surrounded by other peoples and kingdoms. Tribute was a common practice in the ancient Near East, where vassal states would bring gifts or payments to a dominant power as a sign of submission or alliance. Here, the psalmist envisions a time when surrounding nations recognize the sovereignty of the LORD and honor Him. This can be seen as a prophetic vision of the messianic kingdom, where all nations acknowledge God's rule, as prophesied in <a href="/isaiah/2-2.htm">Isaiah 2:2-4</a> and <a href="/zechariah/14-16.htm">Zechariah 14:16</a>. It also foreshadows the Great Commission, where the gospel is to be preached to all nations, bringing them into submission to Christ.<p><b>who is to be feared.</b><br>The fear of the LORD is a central theme in the wisdom literature, particularly in Proverbs, where it is described as the beginning of wisdom (<a href="/proverbs/9-10.htm">Proverbs 9:10</a>). This fear is not merely terror but a profound reverence and awe for God's holiness, power, and justice. In the context of <a href="/psalms/76.htm">Psalm 76</a>, it highlights God's might in delivering His people and defeating their enemies, as seen in the historical backdrop of God's deliverance of Jerusalem from Assyrian forces (<a href="/2_kings/19-35.htm">2 Kings 19:35-37</a>). This fear is also a recognition of God's ultimate authority and judgment, which is a recurring theme throughout the Psalms and the prophetic writings. In the New Testament, this reverence is deepened through the revelation of Jesus Christ, who embodies the fullness of God's power and love, calling believers to live in holy fear and obedience (<a href="/philippians/2-12.htm">Philippians 2:12-13</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant God of Israel, who is to be revered and worshiped.
