SEV Biblia, Chapter 50:14
Sacrifica a Dios alabanza, y paga tus promesas al Altísimo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 49:14
Verse 14. Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High ] jbz zebach, "sacrifice unto God, µyhla Elohim, the hdwt todah, thank-offering," which was the same as the sin-offering, viz. a bullock, or a ram, without blemish; only there were, in addition, "unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil; and cakes of fine flour mingled with oil and fried," Lev. vii. 12. And pay thy vows ] ûyrdn nedareycha, "thy vow-offering, to the Most High." The neder or vow-offering was a male without blemish, taken from among the beeves, the sheep, or the goats. Compare Lev. xxii. 19; vith ver. 22. Now these were offerings, in their spiritual and proper meaning, which God required of the people: and as the sacrificial system was established for an especial end-to show the sinfulness of sin, and the purity of Jehovah, and to show how sin could be atoned for, forgiven, and removed; this system was now to end in the thing that it signified,- the grand sacrifice of Christ, which was to make atonement, feed, nourish, and save the souls of believers unto eternal life; to excite their praise and thanksgiving; bind them to God Almighty by the most solemn vows to live to him in the spirit of gratitude and obedience all the days of their life.
And, in order that they might be able to hold fast faith and a good conscience, they were to make continual prayer to God, who promised to hear and deliver them, that they might glorify him, ver. 15.
From the 16th to the 22nd verse Asaph appears to refer to the final rejection of the Jews from having any part in the true covenant sacrifice.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-15 - To obey is better than sacrifice, and to love God and our neighbou better than all burnt-offerings. We are here warned not to rest i these performances. And let us beware of resting in any form. God demands the heart, and how can human inventions please him, when repentance, faith, and holiness are neglected? In the day of distres we must apply to the Lord by fervent prayer. Our troubles, though we see them coming from God's hand, must drive us to him, not drive u from him. We must acknowledge him in all our ways, depend upon his wisdom, power, and goodness, and refer ourselves wholly to him, and s give him glory. Thus must we keep up communion with God; meeting his with prayers under trials, and with praises in deliverances. believing supplicant shall not only be graciously answered as to his petition, and so have cause for praising God, but shall also have grac to praise him.
