Contextual Overview

7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will adjure thee, God, thine own God, I am: - 8 Not, for thy sacrifices, will I reprove thee, Nor for thine ascending-offerings, before me continually: 9 I will not take out of thy house - a bullock, Nor out of thy folds - he-goats; 10 For, mine, is every wild-beast of the forest, The cattle on the mountains, in their thousands; 11 I know every bird of the mountains, And, the moving things of the plain, are with me: 12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee, For, mine, is the world, and the fulness thereof. 13 Will I eat the flesh of mighty oxen? Or, the blood of he-goats, will I drink? 14 Sacrifice to God a thankoffering, And pay to the Most High thy vows; 15 Call upon me, then, in the day of distress, I will deliver thee, that thou mayest glorify 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.
