Context of Psalms 66:14
12You gave people power to hurt us. We went through dangerous fire and water. But then you brought us into a safe, open place. 13I will bring burnt offerings to your Temple. I will bring to you the gifts that I promised. When I was in trouble, I made those promises. I spoke them aloud. 15I will offer to you gifts of fat animals, to burn them as sacrifices. I will also burn sheep as offerings, and their smell will please you. I will also offer to you bulls and goats. Selah. 16Come and listen, all you people who serve God. I will tell you about the things that God has done for me.
