4O God, hear my prayer, listen to the words of my mouth. 5For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men seek after my soul. They do not set God before them. Selah Surely God is my helper. My Lord is the supporter of my soul. 7Let evil return to my foes. Silence them with Your truth! 8I will sacrifice a freewill offering to You. I will praise Your name, Adonai, for it is good.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6I will freely sacrifice unto thee - Or, I will sacrifice nobly unto thee. Not only with a willing mind, but with a liberal hand will I bring sacrifice unto thee.

And it is good to be employed in such a work: whoever worships thee in sincerity is sure to be a gainer. To him who orders his conversation aright, thou dost show thy salvation.Read the comment
