1  ^vThe earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof,¹

the world and those who dwell therein,

2  for he has ^wfounded it upon ^xthe seas

and established it upon the rivers.

9  I will not accept a bull from your house

or goats from your folds.

10  For every beast of the forest is mine,

the cattle on a thousand hills.

11  ^bI 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,

^cfor the world and its fullness are mine.
