A Solemn Vow to God
Commentators explain that the psalmist's oath is a deeply serious and binding commitment, not a casual intention. Albert Barnes likens it to a modern profession of faith—a solemn vow made in God's presence to follow His ways. This verse encourages believers to view their commitment to Christ with similar gravity and resolve.
