6. Let the heavens declare His righteousness,For God Himself is Judge.Selah
7. “Hear, O My people, and I will speak,O Israel, and I will testify against you;I am God, your God!
8. I will not rebuke you for your sacrificesOr your burnt offerings,Which are continually before Me.
9. I will not take a bull from your house,Nor goats out of your folds.
10. For every beast of the forest is Mine,And the cattle on a thousand hills.
11. I know all the birds of the mountains,And the wild beasts of the field are Mine.
12. “If I were hungry, I would not tell you;For the world is Mine, and all its fullness.
13. Will I eat the flesh of bulls,Or drink the blood of goats?
14. Offer to God thanksgiving,And pay your vows to the Most High.
15. Call upon Me in the day of trouble;I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”
