4. He calls to the heavens above,to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5. “Gather my holy ones together to me,those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
6. The heavens shall declare his righteousness,for God himself is judge. Selah.
7. “Hear, my people, and I will speak;Israel, and I will testify against you.I am God, your God.
8. I don’t rebuke you for your sacrifices.Your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9. I have no need for a bull from your stall,nor male goats from your pens.
10. For every animal of the forest is mine,and the livestock on a thousand hills.
