Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness - not hypocritical sacrifices, such as Absalom offered (2 Samuel 15:7-9), but sacrifices in expiation of your wicked undertaking; on a principle of righteousness (Deuteronomy 33:19), with a hearty renunciation of all sin, and of anger against God's chosen king (Psalms 66:18; cf. Proverbs 15:8). х zibcheey (H2077), sacrifices by blood-shedding. The minchaah (H4503) is unbloody (Psalms 20:3). `Owlaah (H5930), a burnt offering, wherein all the victim was consumed, and ascended (Hebrew root meaning) as smoke: whereas in the zebach (H2077), 'sacrifice,' was not all consumed, e.g., the sin offering, Exodus 10:25] put your trust in the Lord-not in fleshly confidences such as ye rely on. The rebels had the capital in their possession, and all Israel on their aide; whereas David seemed helpless. But he warns them, all earthly powers are vain while the Lord is not with them: whereas he having on his side the Lord, who had "set him apart for himself," is secure against all their hosts (cf. Psalms 4:3; Psalms 4:8).
