5. Gather unto me my godly ones, those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice!
6. And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; for God executeth judgment himself. Selah.
7. Hear, my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God thy God
8. I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt-offerings, 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, the cattle upon a thousand hills;
11. I know all the fowl of the mountains, and the roaming creatures 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. Should I eat the flesh of bulls, and drink the blood of goats?
14. Offer unto God thanksgiving, and perform thy vows unto the Most High;
