Psalms 50:9

7 “Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.

8 I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, and your burnt offerings are ever before Me.

I have no need for a bull from your stall or goats from your pens,

10 for every beast of the forest is Mine— the cattle on a thousand hills.

11 I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are Mine.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
