8I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices,
and your burnt offerings are ever before Me.
9I have no need for a bull from your stall
or goats from your pens,
10for every beast of the forest is Mine—
the cattle on a thousand hills.
11I know every bird in the mountains,
and the creatures of the field are Mine.
12If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
for the world is Mine, and the fullness thereof.
13Do I eat the flesh of bulls,
or drink the blood of goats?
14Sacrifice a thank offering to God,
and fulfill your vows to the Most High.
15Call upon Me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”
— Psalm 50:8-15
