Psalms 50:9-18 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

9. Why would I want more bulls from your barns or goats from your pens?

10. I already own all the animals in the forest. I own all the animals on a thousand hills.

11. I know every bird in the mountains. Everything that moves in the fields is mine.

12. If I were hungry, I would not ask you for food. I already own the world and everything in it.

13. I don’t eat the meat of bulls or drink the blood of goats.”

14. You made promises to God Most High, so give him what you promised. Bring your sacrifices and thank offerings.

15. God says, “Call me when trouble comes. I will help you, and you will honor me.”

16. But God says to the wicked, “Stop quoting my laws! Stop talking about my agreement!

17. You hate for me to tell you what to do. You ignore what I say.

18. You see a thief and run to join him. You jump into bed with those who commit adultery.
