Psalm 50:7-15

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁷ ‘Hear, O my people, and I will speak,
    O Israel, I will testify against you.
    I am God, your God.
⁸ Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you;
    your burnt-offerings are continually before me.
⁹ I will not accept a bull from your house,
    or goats from your folds.
¹⁰ For every wild animal 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 Call on me in the day of trouble;
    I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.’
