5 He says, "Gather my holy people around me. They made a covenant with me by offering a sacrifice."
6 The heavens announce that what God decides is right. He himself is the Judge. Selah
7 God says, "Listen, my people, and I will speak. Listen , Israel , and I will give witness against you. I am God, your God.
8 I don't find fault with you because of your sacrifices. I don't find fault with the burnt offerings you always bring me.
9 I don't need a bull from your barn. I don't need goats from your pens.
10 Every animal in the forest already belongs to me. And so do the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I own every bird in the mountains. The creatures of the field belong to me.
