9  I will not accept a bull from your house

or goats from your folds.

10  For ^zevery beast of the forest is mine,

the cattle on a thousand hills.

11  ^aI know all the birds of the hills,

and all that moves in the field is mine.

12  “If I were hungry, I would not tell you,

for ^bthe world and its fullness are mine.

2  ^qBefore the mountains were brought forth,

or ever you had formed the earth and the world,

^rfrom everlasting to everlasting you are God.
