Forsake their faithfulness,

With the voice of thanksgiving.
That which I have vowed I will pay.
Salvation is from the LORD.”
With the voice of thanksgiving.
That which I have vowed I will pay.
Salvation is from the LORD.”
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah.
