SCRIPTURE

"I will offer unto thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, With the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah" — Psalms 66:15 (ASV)

I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings
Of the fattest of the flock; that is, of the best; such as Abel offered, (Genesis 4:4) ;

with the incense of rams ;
or "rams with incense" F6 ; the Targum is, "with sweet incense, the sacrifice of rams;" Kimchi interprets it of incense of the fat of rams.

I will offer bullocks with goats ;
he proposed to offer all kind of offerings, to show gratitude and thankfulness for the favours received; by all which are meant the calves, or fruit of the lips, the sacrifices of praise, thanksgiving to God, in the name of the whole church and people of God; see (Revelation 19:1–7) .

Selah; on this word, (See Gill on Psalms 3:2).
