Psalms 50:9-17

9I do not need to take a bull from your household or goats from your sheepfolds.

10For every wild animal in the forest belongs to me, as well as the cattle that graze on a thousand hills.

11I keep track of every bird in the hills, and the insects of the field are mine.

12Even if I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and all it contains belong to me.

13Do I eat the flesh of bulls? Do I drink the blood of goats?

14Present to God a thank-offering! Repay your vows to the sovereign One!

15Pray to me when you are in trouble! I will deliver you, and you will honor me!”

16God says this to the evildoer: “How can you declare my commands, and talk about my covenant?

17For you hate instruction and reject my words.
