9 I won't accept bulls from your house or goats from your corrals

Psalms 50:9 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 50:9

I will take no bullock out of thy house
That is, will accept of none; such sacrifices being no more agreeable to the will of God, ( Hebrews 10:5 Hebrews 10:6 Hebrews 10:8 ) ; the "bullock" is mentioned, that being a principal creature used in sacrifice; as also the following,

[nor] he goats out of thy folds;
the reasons follow.

Psalms 50:9 In-Context

7 "Listen, my people, I will now speak; Israel, I will now testify against you. I am God—your God!
8 I'm not punishing you for your sacrifices or for your entirely burned offerings, which are always before me.
9 I won't accept bulls from your house or goats from your corrals
10 because every forest animal already belongs to me, as do the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I know every mountain bird; even the insects in the fields are mine.
