Psalms 50

Which worship songs are based on Psalms 50?

  1. Don't Bring Me Cows — ApologetiX (2009) Psalms 50:9-12

    The song explicitly identifies Psalms as its source and closely adapts God's declaration of ownership over cattle on a thousand hills. Its refusal of cattle offered as payment also reflects the surrounding passage's insistence that God already owns the animals and the world.

  2. I'm Rich — Gaither Vocal Band (2012) Psalms 50:10

    The first verse closely reproduces the psalm's distinctive declaration about God's ownership of livestock across innumerable hills. The song then adds a playful inference about sharing in the Father's possessions as His child.

  3. 1,000,000 Reasons Why — Brandon Lake (2025) Psalms 50:10

    The song references God owning the cattle on a thousand hills, which alludes to the imagery of God's sovereignty and provision found in Psalm 50:10.

  4. There's Always More — Travis Greene & Annatoria (2025) Psalms 50:10

    The declaration of God's ownership of innumerable cattle directly reproduces Psalm 50's image of divine ownership and self-sufficiency.

  5. Dream for You — Casting Crowns (2014) Psalms 50:10

    The description of livestock spread across a thousand hills reproduces this psalm's distinctive imagery. The song places that language within David's imagined shepherding ambitions, although the psalm is attributed to Asaph.

  6. Come to Me — Cheri Keaggy (2012) Psalms 50:10

    The song closely adapts God's declaration of ownership over livestock across innumerable hills. It applies this distinctive image to divine sufficiency amid material disappointment and financial need.

Psalms 50 (King James Version)

1 The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.

3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.

7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.

8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.

9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.

10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:

15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?

17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee.

18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.

19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.

21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
