Thou desirest not sacrifice; which is not to be understood absolutely, and universally, as appears from Psa_51:19, but comparatively, of which See Poole "Psa_40:6", and with particular respect to David’s crimes of murder and adultery, which were not to be expiated by any sacrifice, but by the law of God were to be punished with death. Thou requirest more and better sacrifices, which here follow.

Else would I give it; else I should have spared no cost in that kind.
