Psalms 49:10-19

¹⁰For all the wild beasts of the thicket are mine, the cattle on the mountains, and oxen.

¹¹I know all the birds of the sky; and the beauty of the field is mine.

¹²If I should be hungry, I will not tell you: for the world is mine, and the fullness of it.

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

¹⁴Offer to God the sacrifice of praise; and pay your vows to the Most High.

¹⁵And call upon me in the day of affliction; and I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me. Pause.

¹⁶But to the sinner God has said, Why do you declare my ordinances, and take up my covenant in your mouth?

¹⁷Whereas you have hated instruction, and have cast my words behind you.

¹⁸If you saw a thief, you ran along with him, and have cast in your lot with adulterers.

¹⁹Your mouth has multiplied wickedness, and your tongue has framed deceit.
