I will not reprove you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
All Commentaries on Psalms 50:8 Go To Psalms 50
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Sight. I complain of no neglect (Menochius) in these outward ceremonies. (Haydock)
God required no victims during the captivity; but he always demanded praise, (ver. 14.; Calmet) a contrite heart, Psalm l. 19. (Haydock)
The prophets often admonished the people of this truth, (Isaias i. 2., and Jeremias vii. 20.; Calmet) that they might not set too high a value on sacrifices, (Haydock) which, though pleasing to God, are of no service to him; as all the world is his property. (Worthington)
