Psalm 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).
