Chapter LII.—Such a confession is pleasing to God.
The Lord, brethren, stands in need of nothing; and He desires nothing of any one, except
that confession be made to Him. For, says the elect David, “I will confess unto the Lord; and
that will please Him more than a young bullock that hath horns and hoofs. Let the poor see
it, and be glad.”231 And again he saith, “Offer232 unto God the sacrifice of praise, and pay
thy vows unto the Most High. And call upon Me in the day of thy trouble: I will deliver thee,
and thou shalt glorify Me.”233 For “the sacrifice of God is a broken spirit.”234
