Psalm 50:11

Psalm 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 ) .
