5. Gather ye together his saints to him: who set his covenant before sacrifices.
6. And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge.
7. Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God.
8. I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices: and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight.
9. I will not take calves out of thy house: nor he goats out of thy flocks.
10. For all the beasts of the woods are mine: the cattle on the hills, and the oxen.
11. I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field.
12. If I should be hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13. Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks? or shall I drink the blood of goats?
14. Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: and pay thy vows to the most High.
15. And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16. But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth?
