And what did David see in his soul to be praising to the Holy One, blessed be He? But [David] said: this soul fills the body, as the Holy One, blessed be He fills His world. As it is written: (Jeremiah 23:24): "Do I not fill both heaven and earth —declares the LORD." Come, the soul that fills the body, and praise the Holy One, blessed be He, who fills the whole world. This soul supports the body, as the Holy One, blessed be He, supports His world. As it is written: (Isaiah 46:4): "I was the Maker, and I will be the Bearer; And I will support [you]." Come, the soul that supports the body, and praise the Holy One, blessed be He, who supports His world.

Midrash Tanchuma
The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; the other thou shalt offer at dusk (ibid. 29:39). These two offerings shall be made every day. However, if you should say (to Me), “Here is food and drink, eat the flesh of limbs, and drink the blood of the daily offerings,” even if I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is Mine, and the fullness thereof (Ps. 50:12). I require the offerings only for their savor, as it is said: My food which is presented unto Me for offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Me, shall ye observe (Num. 28:2). Proof of this is that the altar upon which the burnt offering was placed was outside the tent, while the altar for the incense, which gave forth merely a sweet savor, was placed inside the tent. Therefore Moses was told: And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense.
