Psalm 50:9-11
New English Translation
9 I do not need to take[a] a bull from your household
or goats from your sheepfolds.
10 For every wild animal in the forest belongs to me,
as well as the cattle that graze on a thousand hills.[b]
11 I keep track of[c] every bird in the hills,
and the insects[d] of the field are mine.
