Context of Psalms 50:15
13Shall I eat the flesh of bulls Or drink the blood of male goats? 14Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving And pay your vows to the Most High; Call on Me in the day of trouble; I will rescue you, and you shall honor and glorify Me.” 16But to the wicked God says: “What right have you to recite My statutes Or to take My covenant on your lips? 17For you hate instruction and discipline And cast My words behind you [discarding them].

Commentaries on Psalms 50:15
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 15And call upon me in the day of trouble - This is a part of real religion as truly as praise is, Psalm 50:14.
