Psalms 50:8-18

Leeser(i) 8 Not because of thy sacrifices will I reprove thee; and thy burnt-offerings are continually before me. 9 I will not take a bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds. 10 For mine are all the beasts of the forest, the cattle upon a thousand mountains. 11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: whatever moveth on the fields is with me. 12 If I were hungry, I would not say it to thee; for mine is the world, and what filleth it. 13 Do I eat the flesh of fatted bulls, or drink the blood of he-goats? 14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay unto the Most High thy vows; 15 And call on me on the day of distress: I will deliver thee,—and so wilt thou glorify me.” 16 But unto the wicked God saith, “What hast thou to do to relate my statutes, and why bearest thou my covenant upon thy mouth? 17 And yet thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. 18 When thou seest a thief, then art thou pleased with him, and with adulterers hast thou thy portion.
