Old Testament

New Testament

Psalm 49:10-18 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. For all the wild beasts of the forest are mine: the cattle on the hills and the oxen.

11. I know all the flying things of the air, and the beauty of the field is with me.

12. If I should be hungry, I would not tell you: for the whole world is mine, and all its plentitude.

13. Shall I gnaw on the flesh of bulls? Or would I drink the blood of goats?

14. Offer to God the sacrifice of praise, and pay your vows to the Most High.

15. And call upon me in the day of tribulation. I will rescue you, and you will honor me.

16. But to the sinner, God has said: Why do you discourse on my justices, and take up my covenant through your mouth?

17. Truly, you have hated discipline, and you have cast my sermons behind you.

18. If you saw a thief, you ran with him, and you have placed your portion with adulterers.
