What does Psalms 69:30 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 69:30-31
30-31. Spiritual are better than mere material offerings (Psa 40:6; 50:8); hence a promise of the former, and rather contemptuous terms are used of the latter.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Psalms 69:30-36
The psalmist concludes the psalm with holy joy and praise, which he began with complaints of his grief. It is a great comfort to us, that humble and thankful praises are more pleasing to God than the most costly, pompous sacrifices. The humble shall look to him, and be glad; those that seek him through Christ shall live and be comforted. God will do great things for the gospel church, in which let all who wish well to it rejoice. A seed shall serve him on earth, and his servants shall inherit his heavenly kingdom. Those that love his name shall dwell before him for ever. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Arise, thou great Restorer of the ancient places to dwell in, and turn away ungodliness from thy people.
