Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 50:8

"I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; And thy burnt-offerings are continually before me." — Psalms 50:8 (ASV)

I will not ... — Better, Not on account of your sacrifices do I reprove you, nor your burnt offerings, which are always before me. This part of the nation is judged not for neglect of ritual, but for mistaken regard for it. (See Introduction to this psalm.)

As usual in such visions of judgment , the arraigned nation is separated into two classes when brought before the bar of the judge, and the better part is first reproved.
