Psalms 50:9-16

⁹I will not take a bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds.

¹⁰For mine are all the beasts of the forest, the cattle upon a thousand mountains.

¹¹I know all the fowls of the mountains: whatever moveth on the fields is with me.

¹²If I were hungry, I would not say it to thee; for mine is the world, and what filleth it.

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

¹⁴Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay unto the Most High thy vows;

¹⁵And call on me on the day of distress: I will deliver thee,— and so wilt thou glorify me.”

¹⁶But unto the wicked God saith, “What hast thou to do to relate my statutes, and why bearest thou my covenant upon thy mouth?
