Psalm 50:7–17

7  kHear, O my people, and I will speak;

O Israel, and kI will testify against thee:

lI am God, even thy God.

8  mI will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices

Or thy burnt offerings, to have been mmcontinually before me.

9  nI will take no bullock out of thy house,

Nor he goats out of thy ofolds.

10  For every beast of the forest is mine,

And the cattle upon a thousand hills.

11  I know all the fowls of the mountains:

And pthe wild beasts of the field are †mine.

12  If I were hungry, I would not tell thee:

qFor the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

13  Will I eat the flesh of rbulls,

Or drink the blood of goats?

14  sOffer unto God tthanksgiving;

And upay thy vows unto the most High:

15  And vcall upon me in the day of trouble:

wI will deliver thee, and thou shalt xglorify me.

16  But unto the wicked God saith,

yWhat hast thou to do to declare my statutes,

Or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?

17  zSeeing thou hatest instruction,

And acastest my words behind thee.
