Psalms 50:7-15

7“Listen, my people, and I will speak; I will testify against you, Israel: I am God, your God.

8I bring no charges against you concerning your sacrifices or concerning your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.

9I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens,

10for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.

11I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects in the fields are mine.

12If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

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

14“Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High,

15and call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”
