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 God says, "My people, listen to me; Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, your God.

8 I do not scold you for your sacrifices. You always bring me your burnt offerings.

9 But I do not need bulls from your stalls or goats from your pens,

10 because every animal of the forest is already mine. The cattle on a thousand hills are mine.

11 I know every bird on the mountains, and every living thing in the fields is mine.
