Psalms 50:9-17

⁹I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds.

¹⁰For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

¹¹I know all the fowls of the mountains; and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.

¹²If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is Mine, and the fulness thereof.

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

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

¹⁵And call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt honour Me.'

¹⁶But unto the wicked God saith: 'What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, and that thou hast taken My covenant in thy mouth?

¹⁷Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest My words behind thee.
