Psalms [Praises] 50:12-17

¹²If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

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

¹⁴Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to haElyon the Most High.

¹⁵Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

¹⁶But to the wicked God says, “What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,

¹⁷since you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?
