Psalms 50:12

Compare all

10 For every beast of the forest is Mine,
And the cattle on a thousand hills.

11 I know all the birds of the mountains,
And the wild beasts of the field are Mine.

12 “If I were hungry, I would not tell you;
^aFor the world is Mine, and all its fullness.

13 ^aWill I eat the flesh of bulls,
Or drink the blood of goats?

14 ^aOffer to God thanksgiving,
And ^bpay your vows to the Most High.

15 ^aCall upon Me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”

Psalms 50:12

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee - I should not have occasion to apply to you; I should not be dependent on you.

For the world is mine - The earth; all that has been created.

And the fulness thereof - All that fills the world; all that exists upon it. The whole is at his disposal; to all that the earth produces he has a right. This language is used to show the absurdity of the supposition that he was in any way dependent on man, or that the offering of sacrifice could be supposed in any way to lay him under obligation.
