qui potens es in iniquitate?
Tota die injustitiam cogitavit lingua tua;
sicut novacula acuta fecisti dolum.
Dilexisti malitiam super benignitatem;
iniquitatem magis quam loqui �quitatem.
Dilexisti omnia verba pr�cipitationis;
lingua dolosa.
Propterea Deus destruet te in finem;
evellet te, et emigrabit te de tabernaculo tuo,
et radicem tuam de terra viventium.
Videbunt justi, et timebunt;
et super eum ridebunt, et dicent:
Ecce homo qui non posuit Deum adjutorem suum;
sed speravit in multitudine divitiarum suarum,
et pr�valuit in vanitate sua.
Ego autem, sicut oliva fructifera in domo Dei;
speravi in misericordia Dei, in �ternum et in s�culum s�culi.
Confitebor tibi in s�culum, quia fecisti;
et exspectabo nomen tuum,
quoniam bonum est in conspectu sanctorum tuorum.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then shall thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,.... Which must be different from the legal ones he desired not, and did not delight in, Psalms 51:16; but design sacrifices under the Gospel dispensation, as the word "then" shows, which connects this verse with Psalms 51:18: and in the first place intend the sacrifice of Christ, which is of a sweet smelling savour to God; and his righteousness, with which he is well pleased, because the law is magnified and made honourable by it; and next the saints themselves, who present their bodies to him a holy, living, and acceptable sacrifice, they being accepted with him in Christ the beloved; as also their good works, particularly acts of charity and beneficence, with which sacrifices God is well pleased; and especially the spiritual sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving, which are acceptable to him through Jesus Christ; as all are that are offered in faith through him, and from love, and with a view to the glory of God; see Ephesians 5:2

Romans 12:1;

with burnt offering, and whole burnt offering; the difference between these two, according to Aben Ezra and Kimchi, was, that the עולה, "olah", or "burnt offering", was the daily sacrifice; and the additional ones, which were of beasts and birds, Leviticus 1:1, and the

כליל, "calil", was the meat offering of the priests, which was wholly consumed, Leviticus 6:22; though this also is sometimes used of beasts, 1 Samuel 7:9; and both may signify love to God, and to our neighbour; or a man's devoting himself to the Lord in the flames of love, as a whole burnt offering to him, and which is better than all burnt offerings,

Mark 12:33;

then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar; or "calves" r; meaning the calves of the lips, Hosea 14:2; interpreted the fruit of the lips, even giving thanks to the name of God, Hebrews 13:16; which sacrifices of praise being offered up on the altar Christ, come with acceptance before God, Hebrews 13:10.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness - “Then,” that is, when God should have thus showed favor to Zion; when he should have poured out his blessing on Jerusalem; when religion should prosper and prevail; when there should be an increase of the pure worship of God. In such offerings as would “then” be made - in sacrifices presented not in mere form, but with sincerity, humility, and penitence - in the outward offering of blood presented with a corresponding sincerity of feeling, and with true contrition, and a proper acknowledgment of the guilt designed to be represented by the shedding of blood in sacrifice - God would be pleased, and would approve the worship thus rendered to him. Sacrifice would then be acceptable, for it would not be presented as a mere form, but would be so offered, that it might be called a “sacrifice of righteousness” - a sacrifice offered with a right spirit; in a manner which God would deem right.

With burnt-offering - See the notes at Isaiah 1:11.

And whole burnt-offering - The word here means that which is wholly consumed, no part of which was reserved to be eaten by the priests, as was the case in many of the sacrifices. See Deuteronomy 33:10. Compare Leviticus 6:9; Leviticus 1:3-17.

Then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar - That is, then shall bullocks be offered. The meaning is, that all the offerings prescribed in the law would then be brought, and that those sacrifices would be made with a right spirit - a spirit of true devotion - the offering of the heart accompanying the outward form. In other words, there would be manifested the spirit of humble worship; of pure religion.
