This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

With וְעַתָּה the poet predicts inferentially (cf. Psa 2:10) the fulfilment of what he fervently desires, the guarantee of which lies in his very longing itself. זִבְחֵי תְּרוּעָה do not mean sacrifices in connection with which the trumpets are blown by the priests; for this was only the case in connection with the sacrifices of the whole congregation (Num 10:10), not with those of individuals. תְּרוּעָה is a synonym of תֹּודָה, Psa 26:7; and זִבְחֵי תְּרוּעָה is a stronger form of expression for זבחי תודה (Psa 107:22), i.e., (cf. זִבְחֵי צֶדֶק, Psa 4:6; 51:21) sacrifices of jubilant thanksgiving: he will offer sacrifices in which his gratitude plays a prominent part, and will sing songs of thanksgiving, accompanied by the playing of stringed instruments, to his Deliverer, who has again and so gloriously verified His promises.
