Psalms 50:9-17

9⌞But⌟ I will not accept ⌞another⌟ young bull from your household or a single male goat from your pens.

10Every creature in the forest, ⌞even⌟ the cattle on a thousand hills, is mine.

11I know every bird in the mountains. Everything that moves in the fields is mine.

12If I were hungry, I would not tell you, because the world and all that it contains are mine.

13Do I eat the meat of bulls or drink the blood of goats?

14Bring ⌞your⌟ thanks to God as a sacrifice, and keep your vows to the Most High.

15Call on me in times of trouble. I will rescue you, and you will honor me.”

16But God says to wicked people, “How dare you quote my decrees and mouth my promises!

17You hate discipline. You toss my words behind you.
