Psalm 50:7-15

Complete Jewish Bible

⁷ “Listen, my people, I am speaking:
Isra’el, I am testifying against you,
I, God, your God.
⁸ I am not rebuking you for your sacrifices;
your burnt offerings are always before me.
⁹ I have no need for a bull from your farm
or for male goats from your pens;
¹⁰ for all forest creatures are mine already,
as are the animals on a thousand hills;
¹¹ I know all the birds in the mountains;
whatever moves in the fields is mine.
¹² If I were hungry, I would not tell you;
for the world is mine, and everything in it.
¹³ Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
¹⁴ Offer thanksgiving as your sacrifice to God,
pay your vows to the Most High,
¹⁵ and call on me when you are in trouble;
I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”
