See those scriptures, Isaiah 42:1-4, compared with Matthew 12:8-21; Luke 1:48; Luke 1:48; Isaiah 7:14; Acts 2:24; Isaiah 53:6. And secondly and subordinately, we may, in consequence of our union with Christ, take up the same sweet words, and looking up to God in Christ, pay our vows, as being loosed by Jesus' stripes and death from all the bondage of sin, and death, and hell, and brought into the liberty of the children of God. Romans 8:21.

16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,

19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
