Psalm 50

Hear, O my people, and I will speak *

I myself will testify against thee, O Israel; for I am God, even thy God.

I will not reprove thee because of thy sacrifices, or for thy burnt-offerings *

because they were not alway before me.

I will take no bullock out of thine house *

nor he-goat out of thy folds.

For all the beasts of the forest are mine *

and so are the cattle upon a thousand hills.

I know all the fowls upon the mountains *

and the wild beasts of the field are in my sight.

If I be hungry, I will not tell thee *

for the whole world is mine, and all that is therein.

Thinkest thou that I will eat bulls’ flesh *

and drink the blood of goats?

Offer unto God thanksgiving *

and pay thy vows unto the most Highest.

And call upon me in the time of trouble *

so will I hear thee, and thou shalt praise me.
