SEV Biblia, Chapter 50:7

¶ Oye, pueblo mío, y hablaré; escucha, Israel, y testificaré contra ti: Yo soy el Dios, el Dios tuyo.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 49:7

Verse 7. Hear, O my people ] As they were now amply informed concerning the nature and certainty of the general judgment, and were still in a state of probation, Asaph proceeds to show them the danger to which they were exposed, and the necessity of repentance and amendment, that when that great day should arrive, they might be found among those who had made a covenant with God by sacrifice. And he shows them that the sacrifice with which God would be well pleased was quite different from the bullocks, he-goats, &c., which they were in the habit of offering. In short, he shows here that God has intended to abrogate those sacrifices, as being no longer of any service: for when the people began to trust in them, without looking to the thing signified, it was time to put them away. When the people began to pay Divine honours to the brazen serpent, though it was originally an ordinance of God's appointment for the healing of the Israelites, it was ordered to be taken away; called nehushtan, a bit of brass; and broken to pieces. The sacrifices under the Jewish law were of God's appointment; but now that the people began to put their trust in them, God despised them.

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.
