Psalm 50:7-15

Revised Standard Version

⁷ “Hear, O my people, and I will speak,
    O Israel, I will testify against you.
    I am God, your God.
⁸ I do not reprove you for your sacrifices;
    your burnt offerings are continually before me.
⁹ I will accept no bull from your house,
    nor he-goat from your folds.
¹⁰ For every beast of the forest is mine,
    the cattle on a thousand hills.
¹¹ I know all the birds of the air,^[a]
    and all that moves in the field is mine.

¹² “If I were hungry, I would not tell you;
    for the world and all that is in it is mine.
¹³ Do I eat the flesh of bulls,
    or drink the blood of goats?
¹⁴ Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,^[b]
    and pay your vows to the Most High;
¹⁵ and call upon me in the day of trouble;
    I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”
