Context of Psalms 66:14
12You allowed men to ride over our heads; we passed through fire and water, but you brought us out into a wide open place. 13I will enter your temple with burnt sacrifices; I will fulfill the vows I made to you, which my lips uttered and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble. 15I will offer up to you fattened animals as burnt sacrifices, along with the smell of sacrificial rams. I will offer cattle and goats. (Selah) 16Come! Listen, all you who are loyal to God! I will declare what he has done for me.
