What should be better to Hashem?

1.

Rashi: My Tefilah.

2.

Radak #1: My song of praise to Hashem.

3.

Radak #2: The Todah mentioned in verse 31, i.e. verbal thanks.

2.

Radak: This refers to Par, which has horns and strong hooves. Before it has horns, its hooves are soft. Before this, it is not Kosher for a Korban. The Par mentioned in the Torah for a Korban must be three years old.
