Psalm 50:7–15 | Liturgical Calendar

7

Hear, O my people, and I will speak:

“O Israel, I will bear witness against you; *

for I am God, your God.

8

I do not accuse you because of your sacrifices; *

your offerings are always before me.

9

I will take no bull-calf from your stalls, *

nor he-goats out of your pens;

10

For all the beasts of the forest are mine, *

the herds in their thousands upon the hills.

11

I know every bird in the sky, *

and the creatures of the fields are in my sight.

12

If I were hungry, I would not tell you, *

for the whole world is mine and all that is in it.

13

Do you think I eat the flesh of bulls, *

or drink the blood of goats?

14

Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving *

and make good your vows to the Most High.

15

Call upon me in the day of trouble; *

I will deliver you, and you shall honor me.”
