Psalm 50:8-17
New International Version
8 I bring no charges(A) against you concerning your sacrifices
or concerning your burnt offerings,(B) which are ever before me.
9 I have no need of a bull(C) from your stall
or of goats(D) from your pens,(E)
10 for every animal of the forest(F) is mine,
and the cattle on a thousand hills.(G)
11 I know every bird(H) in the mountains,
and the insects in the fields(I) are mine.
12 If I were hungry I would not tell you,
for the world(J) is mine, and all that is in it.(K)
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
14 “Sacrifice thank offerings(L) to God,
fulfill your vows(M) to the Most High,(N)
15 and call(O) on me in the day of trouble;(P)
I will deliver(Q) you, and you will honor(R) me.”
16 But to the wicked person, God says:
Psalm 50:8-17
King James Version
8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee.
