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. For, says the elect David, “I will confess unto the Lord; and that will please Him more than a young bullock⁴²⁷⁸

⁴²⁷⁸ I. omits from Ps. lxix. 31, 32 the word following “bullock.”
that hath horns and hoofs. Let the poor see it, and be glad.”⁴²⁷⁹

⁴²⁷⁹ Ps. lxix. 31, 32.
And again he saith, “Offer⁴²⁸⁰

⁴²⁸⁰ 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.”⁴²⁸¹

⁴²⁸¹ Ps. l. 14, l5. I. omits Ps. l. 15.
For “the sacrifice of God is a broken spirit.”⁴²⁸²

⁴²⁸² Ps. li. 17.
