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 own every bird in the mountains. The creatures of the field belong to me.
12 If I were hungry, I wouldn't tell you. The world belongs to me. And so does everything in it.
13 Do I eat the meat of bulls? Do I drink the blood of goats?
14 Bring me thank offerings, because I am your God. Carry out the promises you made to me, because I am the Most High God.
15 Call out to me when trouble comes. I will save you. And you will honor me."
