Annotationsfrom the original 1609 Douay Old Testament
1423. *The sacrifice of praise. For better and more due performing of external sacrifice, it is requisite, that those which offer it, or desire to participate, do bring with them necessary internal virtues, or disposition; as sorrow and repentance for their sins, which is a kind of improper sacrifice (mentioned in the next Psalm) the sacrifice of justice, which rendereth to every one that is due (Psal. 4.) and sacrifice of praise, or thanksgiving, for all God's benefits received or expected; which kinds of internal and improper sacrifices, do nothing prejudice, but rightly prepare men to the fruit of external sacrifice, ever used in the law of nature, the law of Moyses, and of Christ. This place also hath another higher and prophetical sense of the Sacrifice of Christ's body in the Eucharist, which is both propitiatory, and Sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. So S. Augustine (orat. adversus Judeos. c. 6.) teacheth, that here certainly is a plain change of the old sacrifices. The same he affirmeth Ep. 120. c. 18. God foreshewing that the old sacrifices should be changed, which were offered in shadow of a sacrifice to come. I will not take (saith God to Israel) calves nor goats at thy hand, &c. but appointeth that all Israel (all nations from the rising of the sun to the setting) shall immolate the sacrifice of praise, the same Christ, whom old Simeon knew an infant, whom he received into his hands. Likewise, li. contra advers. legis & prophet. c. 20. The Church offereth to God in the body of Christ the sacrifice of praise.23. *The sacrifice of praise.
