Psalms 50:5-19

⁵Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.

⁶And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is judge. Selah.

⁷Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God am I.

⁸Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings Are before Me continually.

⁹I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats.

¹⁰For Mine is every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.

¹¹I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field is with Me.

¹²If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine is the world and its fulness.

¹³Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats?

¹⁴Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows.

¹⁵And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest Me.

¹⁶And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee — to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth?

¹⁷Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee.

¹⁸If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers is thy portion.

¹⁹Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,
