7. My people Isr'el hear,speak will I from on high,Against thee I will testify;God, ev'n thy God, am I.
8. I for thy sacrificeno blame will on thee lay,Nor for burnt-off 'rings, which to methou offer'dst ev'ry day.
9. I'll take no calf nor goatsfrom house or fold of thine:
10. For beasts of forests, cattle allon thousand hills, are mine.
11. The fowls on mountains highare all to me well known;Wild beasts which in the fields do lie,ev'n they are all mine own.
12. Then, if I hungry were,I would not tell it thee;Because the world, and fulness allthereof, belongs to me.
13. Will I eat flesh of bulls?or goats' blood drink will I?
14. Thanks offer thou to God, and paythy vows to the most High.
