Psalms 50:8

Compare all

6 Let the ^aheavens declare His righteousness,
For ^bGod Himself is Judge. Selah

7 “Hear, O My people, and I will speak,
O Israel, and I will testify against you;
^aI am God, your God!

8 ^aI will not¹ rebuke you ^bfor your sacrifices
Or your burnt offerings,
Which are continually before Me.

9 ^aI will not take a bull from your house,
Nor goats out of your folds.

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.”

16 But to the wicked God says:
“What right have you to declare My statutes,
Or take My covenant in your mouth,

17 ^aSeeing you hate instruction
And cast My words behind you?

18 When you saw a thief, you ^aconsented with him,
And have been a ^bpartaker with adulterers.

19 You give your mouth to evil,
And ^ayour tongue frames deceit.
