Context of Psalms 50:11
9I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he-goats out of thy folds: 10For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle upon a thousand hills; I know all the fowl of the mountains, and the roaming creatures of the field are mine: 12If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. 13Should I eat the flesh of bulls, and drink the blood of goats?
