Psalm 50:8-13

God Himself Is Judge

8 Not for your sacrifices a do I rebuke you;
your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9 I will not accept a bull from your house
or goats from your folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 b I know all the birds of the hills,
and all that moves in the field is mine.

12 "If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
c for the world and its fullness are mine.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
