Psalm 50:10-12
New English Translation
10 For every wild animal in the forest belongs to me,
as well as the cattle that graze on a thousand hills.[a]
11 I keep track of[b] every bird in the hills,
and the insects[c] of the field are mine.
12 Even if I were hungry, I would not tell you,
for the world and all it contains belong to me.

- Psalm 50:11 tn Heb “I know.”
- Psalm 50:11 tn The precise referent of the Hebrew word, which occurs only here and in Ps 80:13, is uncertain. Aramaic, Arabic and Akkadian cognates refer to insects, such as locusts or crickets.
