Maybe Psalm 40:7 says "a sacrifice You did not desire, ears You gave a feast
for me, a burnt offering and a sin offering You did not desire."

Could this be like the saying "a feast for the eyes" when something looks
nice? Maybe King David spoke about how great G-d was in Psalm 40:10-11, so he
gave the people a feast for their ears.

The verb kaf resh hay is usually translated as dig, but it is also translated
as to give a feast once or twice (?).
