This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
6.And I will offer sacrifices of triumph (583) in his tabernacle. By making a solemn vow of thanksgiving, after he shall have been delivered from dangers, he confirms himself again in the hope of deliverance. The faithful under the Law, we know, were wont, by a solemn rite, to pay their vows, when they had experienced any remarkable blessing from God. Here, therefore, David, though in banishment, and prohibited from approaching the temple, boasts that he would again come to the altar of God, and offer the sacrifice of praise. It appears, however, that he tacitly sets the holy rejoicing and songs, in which he promises to give thanks to God, in opposition to the profane triumphings of the world.
(583) “Sacrificia jubili.” —Lat. “Sacrifice de triomphe.” — Fr. Ainsworth reads, “ of shouting, or of triumph, of joyful sounding and alarm.” “” says he, “ respect to the law which appointed over the sacrifices trumpets to be sounded, Num_10:10, whose chiefest, most loud, joyful, and triumphant sound was called trughnah, [or תרועה, truah, the word here used,] ‘’ ‘’ or ‘’ Num_10:5.”
