Psalm 50:10-23
King James Version
10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee.
18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

Psalm 50:10-23
New International Version
10 for every animal of the forest(A) is mine,
and the cattle on a thousand hills.(B)
11 I know every bird(C) in the mountains,
and the insects in the fields(D) are mine.
12 If I were hungry I would not tell you,
for the world(E) is mine, and all that is in it.(F)
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
14 “Sacrifice thank offerings(G) to God,
fulfill your vows(H) to the Most High,(I)
15 and call(J) on me in the day of trouble;(K)
I will deliver(L) you, and you will honor(M) me.”
16 But to the wicked person, God says:
“What right have you to recite my laws
or take my covenant(N) on your lips?(O)
17 You hate(P) my instruction
and cast my words behind(Q) you.
18 When you see a thief, you join(R) with him;
you throw in your lot with adulterers.(S)
19 You use your mouth for evil
and harness your tongue to deceit.(T)
20 You sit and testify against your brother(U)
and slander your own mother’s son.
21 When you did these things and I kept silent,(V)
you thought I was exactly[a] like you.
But I now arraign(W) you
and set my accusations(X) before you.
