Psalms 50:10-11

Context

50:10 For every wild animal in the forest belongs to me,

as well as the cattle that graze on a thousand hills. 1 

50:11 I keep track of 2  every bird in the hills,

and the insects 3  of the field are mine.

1 tn Heb “[the] animals on a thousand hills.” The words “that graze” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The term בְּהֵמוֹה (bÿhemot, “animal”) refers here to cattle (see Ps 104:14).

2 tn Heb “I know.”

3 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.
