Psalms 50:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 50:13

Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
] That is, express a pleasure, take delight and satisfaction, in such kind of sacrifices, which can never take away sin: no, I will not; wherefore other sacrifices, more agreeable to his nature, mind, and will, and to the Gospel dispensation, are next mentioned.

Psalms 50:13 In-Context

11 I know all the birds in the mountains; whatever moves in the fields is mine.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world is mine, and everything in it.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer thanksgiving as your sacrifice to God, pay your vows to the Most High,
15 and call on me when you are in trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me."
