Context of Psalms 50:15
13Do I eat the meat of bulls? Do I drink the blood of goats? 14Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God, and keep the vows you made to the Most High. Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory.” 16But God says to the wicked: “Why bother reciting my decrees and pretending to obey my covenant? 17For you refuse my discipline and treat my words like trash.
