Commentary on Psalms 50:14

Theological / Devotional

Offer. Heb. zebach, “sacrifice” (see on v. 5). Not the mere sacrifice of animals, as the people commonly understood the term “sacrifice,” was acceptable to God, but only the sacrifice that came from the heart that was full of gratitude and thanksgiving. The argument continues in a positive strain.

Vows. See Ps. 22:25; 116:14; cf. Lev. 7:16. Only lives full of penitence, love, gratitude, obedience, and devotion can be acceptable in the sight of God.
