Psalms 66:15 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 66:15

I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings
Of the fattest of the flock; that is, of the best; such as Abel offered, ( Genesis 4:4 ) ;

with the incense of rams;
or "rams with incense" F6; the Targum is,

``with sweet incense, the sacrifice of rams;''

Kimchi interprets it of incense of the fat of rams.

I will offer bullocks with goats;
he proposed to offer all kind of offerings, to show gratitude and thankfulness for the favours received; by all which are meant the calves, or fruit of the lips, the sacrifices of praise, thanksgiving to God, in the name of the whole church and people of God; see ( Revelation 19:1-7 ) .

Selah; on this word, (See Gill on Psalms 3:2).

Psalms 66:15 In-Context

13 I'm bringing my prizes and presents to your house. I'm doing what I said I'd do,
14 What I solemnly swore I'd do that day when I was in so much trouble:
15 The choicest cuts of meat for the sacrificial meal; Even the fragrance of roasted lamb is like a meal! Or make it an ox garnished with goat meat!
16 All believers, come here and listen, let me tell you what God did for me.
17 I called out to him with my mouth, my tongue shaped the sounds of music.
