Salmos 50:11 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 50:11

I know all the fowls of the mountains
God not only knows them, but takes care of them; not a sparrow fails to the ground without his knowledge, and all the fowls of the air are fed by him, ( Matthew 10:29 ) ( 6:26 ) ; and therefore needed not their turtledoves and young pigeons, which were the only fowls used in sacrifice;

and the wild beasts of the field [are] mine;
which are mentioned in opposition to domestic ones, such as they had in their houses or folds, ( Psalms 50:9 ) .

Salmos 50:11 In-Context

9 No tomaré de tu casa becerros, Ni machos cabríos de tus apriscos.
10 Porque mía es toda bestia del bosque, Y los millares de animales en los collados.
11 Conozco todas las aves de los montes, Y en mi poder están las fieras del campo.
12 Si yo tuviese hambre, no te lo diría á ti: Porque mío es el mundo y su plenitud.
13 ¿Tengo de comer yo carne de toros, O de beber sangre de machos cabríos?
