Contextual Overview

⁷ Give ear, O my people, to my words; O Israel, I will be a witness against you; I am God, even your God. ⁸ I will not take up a cause against you because of your offerings, or because of your burned offerings, which are ever before me. ⁹ I will take no ox out of your house, or he-goats from your flocks; ¹⁰ For every beast of the woodland is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. ¹¹ I see all the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the field are mine. ¹² If I had need of food, I would not give you word of it; for the earth is mine and all its wealth. ¹³ Am I to take the flesh of the ox for my food, or the blood of goats for my drink? ¹⁴ Make an offering of praise to God; keep the agreements which you have made with the Most High; ¹⁵ Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

I will take no bullock out of thy house,.... That is, will accept of none; such sacrifices being no more agreeable to the will of God, Hebrews 10:5; the "bullock" is mentioned, that being a principal creature used in sacrifice; as also the following,

[nor] he goats out of thy folds; the reasons follow.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I will take no bullock out of thy house - Bullocks were offered regularly in the Hebrew service and sacrifice Exodus 29:11, Exodus 29:36; Leviticus 4:4; 1Ki 18:23, 1 Kings 18:33; and it is with reference to this that the language is used here. In obedience to the law it was right and proper to offer such sacrifices; and the design here is not to express disapprobation of these offerings in themselves considered. On this subject - on the external compliance with the law in this respect - God says Psalms 50:8 that he had no cause to complain against them. It was only with respect to the design and the spirit with which they did this, that the language in this verse and the following verses is used. The idea which it is the purpose of these verses to suggest is, that God did not “need” such offerings; that they were not to be made “as if” he needed them; and that if he needed such he was not “dependent” on them, for all the beasts of the earth and all the fowls of the mountains were his, and could be taken for that purpose; and that if he took what was claimed to be theirs - the bullocks and the goats - he did not wrong them, for all were his, and he claimed only his own.

Nor he-goats out of thy folds - Goats were also offered in sacrifice. Leviticus 3:12; Leviticus 4:24; Leviticus 10:16 : Numbers 15:27.
