31. This also shall please the Lordbetter than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs. No sacrifice is so acceptable to God, who is a Spirit, as that which is
spiritual. He puts dishonor upon mere outward offerings by speaking of the
horns and hoofs, the offal of the victim. “Offer unto God thanksgiving” is the
everlasting rubric of the true directory of worship. The depths of grief into
which the suppliant had been plunged gave him all the richer an experience of
divine power and grace in his salvation, and qualified him to sing more sweetly
“the song of loves.” Such
music is most acceptable to the infinite Jehovah.
