It's about being faithful and trustworthy in our relationship with Him, as seen in Psalms 15:4, where it says that those who keep their promises even when it hurts are the ones who will dwell on God's holy hill.

By doing so, we can show our love and gratitude for all that He has done for us, and live a life that honors Him, as stated in Colossians 3:17, where it says that whatever we do, we should do it in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.]

Gill's Exposition on Psalms 76:11
Vow, and pay unto the Lord your God,.... Not monastic vows, which the Papists would infer from these and such like words; nor ceremonial ones, but spiritual sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 76:11
Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 76:11
Vow a sacrifice of thanksgiving; either at this time, for this wonderful deliverance; or hereafter, in all your future straits and troubles. Let this experience encourage you to make such vows to God with confidence of success. But when God hath accepted your vows, and given you the desired deliverance, forget not to pay your vows. All that be round about him; either, 1. All the tribes of Israel, who have the benefit of this mercy. Or rather, 2. All the neighbouring nations on every side, to whom the fame of this mighty work of God shall come, I advise them for the future, if they love themselves, to cease from all hostilities against God or his people, and to submit themselves to the God of Israel. Him that ought to be feared; whom though they do not love, yet they see and feel that they have great reason to fear and to seek his favour.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 76:11
Psalms 76:11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.Ver. 11. Vow, and pay to the Lord] A plain precept; and yet Bellarmine saith, Vovere nusquam est praeceptum. As for vowing to saints, he granteth, that when the Scriptures were written the Church had no such custom (Lib. ii. de Monach. cap. 17; De Cult. Sanetor. cap. 9). Saint worship then is but new worship. Let all that be round about him] All the neighbouring nations; and so they did, after Assyria’ s overthrow, 2 Chronicles 32:21; 2 Chronicles 32:23. To him that ought to be feared] Heb. to fear, that is, to God, the proper object of fear, called therefore fear, by an appellative property.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 76:11
(11) Vow, and pay . . .—This clause seems to be addressed to the Israelites, the next to the heathen.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 76:11
Verse 11. Vow, and pay unto the Lord] Bind yourselves to him, and forget not your obligations. Let all that be round about him] All the neighbouring nations, who shall see God's judgments against his enemies, should Bring presents unto him] Give him that homage which is due unto him. That ought to be feared.] למורא lammora, "to the terrible One;" lest they be consumed as the Assyrians have been.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 76:11
11. Let Israel pay the vows it made in its hour of peril (Psalms 66:13); let the nations that dwell near God’s city and people bring their presents—a phrase used only of bringing solemn tribute to God (Psalms 68:29; Isaiah 18:7). “Many,” we read in 2 Chronicles 32:23, “brought gifts unto Jehovah to Jerusalem,” after the great deliverance. unto him that ought to be feared] Lit. unto the fear, the same word as in Isaiah 8:13.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 76:11
