Psalm 50
Genuine love of God

I have come not to abolish the law but to bring it to perfection<\/em>\u00a0(see Matthew 5:17).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

II<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cListen, my people, I will speak; *
Israel, I will testify against you,
for I am God your God. *
I accuse you, lay the charge before you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find no fault with your sacrifices, *
your offerings are always before me.
I do not ask more bullocks from your farms, *
nor goats from among your herds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For I own all the beasts of the forest, *
beasts in their thousands on my hills.
I know all the birds in the sky, *
all that moves in the field belongs to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Were I hungry, I would not tell you, *
for I own the world and all it holds.
Do you think I eat the flesh of bulls, *
or drink the blood of goats?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pay your sacrifice of thanksgiving to God *
and render him your votive offerings.
Call on me in the day of distress. *
I will free you and you shall honor me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ant. Offer to God the sacrifice of praise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ant. 3 I want a loving heart more than sacrifice, knowledge of my ways more than holocausts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":17382,"template":"","rizors":[],"yoast_head":"\nyour offerings are always before me - Behold<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/behold.mt\/en\/talba-bis-salmi\/your-offerings-are-always-before-me\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"your offerings are always before me - Behold\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Office of Readings, Monday 15th December 2025 Psalm 50Genuine love of GodI have come not to abolish the law but to bring it to perfection\u00a0(see Matthew 5:17).
