4
He calls to the sky above and to the earth that he might judge his people.
5
He says, "Gather around, you who worship me, who have made an agreement with me, using a sacrifice."
6
God is the judge, and even the skies say he is right. Selah
7
God says, "My people, listen to me; Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, your God.
8
I do not scold you for your sacrifices. You always bring me your burnt offerings.
9
But I do not need bulls from your stalls or goats from your pens,
10
because every animal of the forest is already mine. The cattle on a thousand hills are mine.
11
I know every bird on the mountains, and every living thing in the fields is mine.
12
If I were hungry, I would not tell you, because the earth and everything in it are mine.
13
I don't eat the meat of bulls or drink the blood of goats.
14
Give an offering to show thanks to God. Give God Most High what you have promised.
