Contextual Overview

30 I wyll prayse the name of the Lorde with a song: and magnifie hym with a solemne confession. 31 And it wyll please God: better then a bullocke that hath hornes and hoofes. 32 The humble wyll consider this and be glad, such as seke after God: and your soule shall lyue. 33 For God heareth the poore: & dispiseth not his prisoners. 34 Let heauen and earth prayse hym: the sea and all that moueth therin. 35 For the Lorde wyll saue Sion, and builde the cities of Iehuda: that men may dwel there and haue it in possessio. 36 The posteritie also of his seruauntes shall inherite it: and they that loue his name shall dwell therin.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

[This] also shall please the Lord,.... That is, this song of praise and thanksgiving. The Targum has it,

"my prayers;''

as if it retorted to Psalms 69:29; but what is expressed in Psalms 69:30 seems to be the proper antecedent to this, and which is a sacrifice; see Psalms 50:14; and more acceptable to God than any of the legal sacrifices, even when they were in force; and much more, now they are abrogated; and especially as offered up by the Messiah himself, all whose offerings are well pleasing to God; particularly the offering up of himself, which was for a sweet smelling savour to him, and in virtue of which all spiritual sacrifices of prayer and praise become acceptable unto God;

better than an ox [or] bullock that hath horns and hoofs; that is, than the best of legal sacrifices; as an ox or bullock was, whose horns and hoofs were grown; one of three years old, as Jarchi and Kimchi observe: the words may be literally rendered, "than an ox, than a bullock, than horns, than hoofs"; not only better than an ox or a bullock, but than any creature that has horns and hoofs; that is, than the lawful sacrifice of any animal whatever, as Junius renders and explains it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This also shall please the Lord - This will be more acceptable to the Lord.

Better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs - Better than a burnt sacrifice - horns, and hoofs, and all. The original here is, “horning and hoofing;” that is, an ox whose horns were fully grown, and whose hoofs were compact and solid; a perfect animal in its kind, offered whole on the altar. The psalmist does not say that such an offering would “not” be acceptable to the Lord, but that the offering of the heart - the sacrifice of praise - would be “more” acceptable than any such offering in itself considered. This sentiment accords with the common language of the Old Testament. See the notes at Psalms 40:6-8. Compare Psalms 51:16-17; 1 Samuel 15:22.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 69:31. An ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs. — Oxen offered in sacrifice had their horns and hoofs gilded; and the psalmist might mention these parts of the victim more particularly, because they were more conspicuous. Others think that full-grown animals are intended, those that had perfect horns, in opposition to calves or steers. I think the first the preferable sense; for the horns, &c., of consecrated animals are thus ornamented in the east to the present day.
