Psalm 50:11-13

"I know every bird in the mountains and the insects in the fields are mine. If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it. Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?"

I know every bird in the mountains 
Matthew 6:26  "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"

and the insects in the fields are mine 
Psalm 8:6-8  You made them (mankind) rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
Psalm 80:13  Boars from the forest ravage it (Israel) and insects from the fields feed on it.

for the world is mine 
Exodus 19:5-6  " 'Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words you (Moses) are to speak to the Israelites."

and all that is in it 
Deuteronomy 10:14  To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it.
Joshua 3:11  "See, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will go into the Jordan ahead of you."
Psalm 24:1-2  The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.
1 Corinthians 10:26  Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it." (Psalm 24:1)
