I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
All Commentaries on Psalms 116:17 Go To Psalms 116
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
12. "I will offer to Thee the sacrifice of praise" (ver. 17). For I have not found any deserts of mine, since Thou hast broken my bonds asunder; I therefore owe Thee the sacrifice of praise; because, although I will boast that I am Thy servant, and the son of Thy handmaid, I will glory not in myself, but in Thee, my Lord, who hast broken asunder my bonds, that when I return from my desertion, I may again be bound unto Thee.
