Chapter LII.—Such a Confession is Pleasing to God.

The Lord, brethren, stands in need of nothing; and He desires nothing of any one except that confession be made to Him.  245For, says the elect David, “I will confess unto the Lord; and that will please Him more than a young bullock^42784278    I. omits from Ps. lxix. 31, 32 the word following “bullock.” that hath horns and hoofs.  Let the poor see it, and be glad.”^42794279    Ps. lxix. 31, 32.  And again he saith, “Offer^42804280    Or, “sacrifice.” unto God the sacrifice of praise, and pay thy vows unto the Most High.  And call upon me in the day of thy trouble:  I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.”^42814281    Ps. l. 14, l5.  I. omits Ps. l. 15.  For “the sacrifice of God is a broken spirit.”^42824282    Ps. li. 17.
