Context of Psalms 50:10
8I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, for your burnt offerings are continually before Me. 9I have no need of a bull from your house nor goats from your pens. For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. 11I know every bird of the mountains. Everything moving in the field is Mine. 12If I were hungry, I would not tell you— for the world is Mine and all it contains!

However scrupulous in external worship, it was offered as if they conferred an obligation in giving God His own, and with a degrading view of Him as needing it [Psa 50:9-13]. Reproving them for such foolish and blasphemous notions, He teaches them to offer, or literally, "sacrifice," thanksgiving, and pay, or perform, their vows--that is, to bring, with the external symbolical service, the homage of the heart, and faith, penitence, and love.
