Psalms 50:9-16

⁹I will take no ox out of your house, or he-goats from your flocks;

¹⁰For every beast of the woodland is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.

¹¹I see all the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the field are mine.

¹²If I had need of food, I would not give you word of it; for the earth is mine and all its wealth.

¹³Am I to take the flesh of the ox for my food, or the blood of goats for my drink?

¹⁴Make an offering of praise to God; keep the agreements which you have made with the Most High;

¹⁵Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me.

¹⁶But to the sinner, God says, What are you doing, talking of my laws, or taking the words of my agreement in your mouth?
