Psalms 69:30-33 (ESV Strong's)
I will praise the name of God with a song;
I will magnify him with thanksgiving.
This will please the Lord more than an ox
or a bull with horns and hoofs.
When the humble see it they will be glad;
you who seek God, let your hearts revive.
For the Lord hears the needy
and does not despise his own people who are prisoners.
Subject: Humility and Worship
These verses stress an often read theme in Psalm and God's Word: Humility exalts and pride brings one low. Those who think following God in "form worship" will attract God's favor are mistaken. God favors the humble. Those who have a spirit of thanksgiving are bless above and beyond those bring "ox or a bull with horns and hoofs" (this reference not only speaks of a sacrifice but an "abundant" sacrifice). God favors the humble. He hears the "needy.". Humility is the key to worship, not the pride in man's heart based upon the way he worships.
