Sacrifices of joy. — Literally, of shouting; so LXX. and Vulg., hostiam vociferationis. The custom of blowing trumpets (Numbers 10:10; comp. Sir. 1:16-18) at the time of the burnt offering illustrates this expression even if there is no direct allusion to it.
I will sing, yea. — Better, I will sing and play.
