Contextual Overview

7 'Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: 8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; and thy burnt-offerings are continually before Me. 9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds. 10 For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. 11 I know all the fowls of the mountains; and the wild beasts of the field are Mine. 12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is Mine, and the fulness thereof. 13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? 14 Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High; 15 And call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt honour Me.'

Gill's Notes on the Bible

I know all the fowls of the mountains,.... God not only knows them, but takes care of them; not a sparrow fails to the ground without his knowledge, and all the fowls of the air are fed by him,

Matthew 10:29; and therefore needed not their turtledoves and young pigeons, which were the only fowls used in sacrifice;

and the wild beasts of the field [are] mine; which are mentioned in opposition to domestic ones, such as they had in their houses or folds,

Psalms 50:9.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I know all the fowls of the mountains - That is, I am fully acquainted with their numbers; their nature; their habits; their residence. I have such a knowledge of them that I could appropriate them to my own use if I were in need of them. I am not, therefore, dependent on people to offer them, for I can use them as I please.

And the wild beasts of the field are mine - Margin, “with me.” That is, they are before me. They are never out of my presence. At any time, therefore, I could use them as I might need them. The word rendered “wild beasts” - זיז zı̂yz - means any moving thing; and the idea here is, whatever moves in the field, or roams abroad. Everything is his - whether on the mountains, in the forest, or in the cultivated field.
