Psalm 50:8 "I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices..."

Day 101 – Psalm 50

“I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices…” Psalm 50:8

THE SUBJECT OF THE CHARGE

The subject of God’s charge would be the issue of “sacrifices and burn offerings”.

“I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings,
Which are continually before Me.
I will not take a bull from your house,
Nor goats out of your folds.
For every beast of the forest is Mine,
And the cattle on a thousand hills.
I know all the birds of the mountains,
And the wild beasts of the field are Mine.”
Psalm 50:8-11
