Psalm 50:10-23
English Standard Version
10 For every beast of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 (A)I know all the birds of the hills,
and all that moves in the field is mine.
12 “If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
(B)for the world and its fullness are mine.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
14 (C)Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,[a]
and (D)perform your vows to the Most High,
15 and (E)call upon me in the day of trouble;
I will (F)deliver you, and you shall (G)glorify me.”
16 But to the wicked God says:
“What right have you to recite my statutes
or take my covenant on your lips?
17 (H)For you hate discipline,
(I)and you cast my words behind you.
18 If you see a thief, (J)you are pleased with him,
(K)and you keep company with adulterers.
19 “You give your mouth free rein for evil,
(L)and your tongue frames deceit.
20 You sit and speak against your brother;
you slander your own mother's son.
21 These things you have done, and I (M)have been silent;
you thought that I[b] was one like yourself.
But now I (N)rebuke you and (O)lay the charge before you.
22 “Mark this, then, you who (P)forget God,
lest I tear you apart, and there be (Q)none to deliver!
23 The one who (R)offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me;
to one who (S)orders his way rightly
I will show the (T)salvation of God!”
