O God, be kind to Zion and help her; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

Then you will be pleased with proper sacrifices and with our burnt offerings; and bulls will be sacrificed on your altar.

Enter the Temple gates with thanksgiving; go into its courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise him.

Open to me the gates of the Temple; I will go in and give thanks to the LORD!

The LORD is God; he has been good to us. With branches in your hands, start the festival and march around the altar.

The LORD will choose a single place where he is to be worshiped, and there you must bring to him everything that I have commanded: your sacrifices that are to be burned and your other sacrifices, your tithes and your offerings, and those special gifts that you have promised to the LORD.

Be joyful there in his presence, together with your children, your servants, and the Levites who live in your towns; remember that the Levites will have no land of their own.

Let us, then, always offer praise to God as our sacrifice through Jesus, which is the offering presented by lips that confess him as Lord.

In the full assembly I will praise you for what you have done; in the presence of those who worship you I will offer the sacrifices I promised.

O God, I will offer you what I have promised; I will give you my offering of thanksgiving,

In the assembly of all his people I will give him what I have promised.

I will give you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and offer my prayer to you.

(SEE 116:18)

So when you make a promise to God, keep it as quickly as possible. He has no use for a fool. Do what you promise to do.

But I will sing praises to you; I will offer you a sacrifice and do what I have promised. Salvation comes from the LORD!"

Look, a messenger is coming over the mountains with good news! He is on his way to announce the victory! People of Judah, celebrate your festivals and give God what you solemnly promised him. The wicked will never invade your land again. They have been totally destroyed!
