Context of Psalms 50:15
13Do I eat the meat of bulls? No! Do I drink the blood of goats? No! 14Say “thank you” to me as your offering. Do whatever you have promised to do for me, the Most High God. Pray to me when you are in trouble. Then I will rescue you, and you will praise me.’ 16But God says this to the wicked people: ‘It is useless for you to speak about my commands, or about my covenant. 17For you hate my teaching, and you refuse to accept my message.

The purpose of all that is said here is to show that true religion - the proper service of God - does not consist in the mere offering of sacrifice, but that it is of a spiritual…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 7-15Verses 7-15 To obey is better than sacrifice, and to love God and our neighbour better than all burnt-offerings.
