Psalms 50:4-13 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

4. He summons the heavens above and the earth that he might judge his people:

5. “Gather to me my loyal ones, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”

6. And the heavens declare his righteousness, because God himself is judge. Selah

7. “Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you. I am God, your God.

8. It is not concerning a lack of your sacrifices that I rebuke you, and your burnt offerings are before me continually.

9. I will not take from your house a bull or from your stalls a he-goat,

10. because every animal of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.

11. I know every bird of the mountains, and every moving creature in the field is mine.

12. If I were hungry I would not tell you, because the world and its fullness are mine.

13. Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
