6. The heavens shall declare his righteousness,for God himself is judge. Selah.
7. “Hear, my people, and I will speak;Israel, and I will testify against you.I am God, your God.
8. I don’t rebuke you for your sacrifices.Your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9. I have no need for a bull from your stall,nor male goats from your pens.
10. For every animal of the forest is mine,and the livestock on a thousand hills.
11. I know all the birds of the mountains.The wild animals of the field are mine.
12. If I were hungry, I would not tell you,for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
13. Will I eat the meat of bulls,or drink the blood of goats?
14. Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving.Pay your vows to the Most High.
