Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 51:16

16. For thou desirest not sacrifice , else would I give it : thou delightest not in burntoffering.

Which is not to be understood absolutely, and Universally, as appears from v. 19. but Comparatively, of which see on Psal. 40. 6. and with particular respect to David's Crimes, of Murder and Adultery, which were not to be expiated by any Sacrifice, but by the Law of God, were to be punished with Death. Thou requirest more and better Sacrifices, which here follow.

Else I should have spared no cost in that kind.
