Psalm 9

Psalm 9:12
For He who requires blood remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
God pays attention to those who have been harmed.  He knows everything, and doesn't just ignore most of it to focus on the "big picture."  He sees every slight, every small wound, every unintentional hurt.  But He also sees every derision, every single insult, every "accidental" injury, as well as every obvious attack.  Nothing escapes His notice.

All these are sins, and there must be a price paid.  That price is blood.  If we have sinned, only our blood can cover that sin.  But we don't have enough blood to cover our sins, so we have to die.  Only by substituting the blood of something else, acceptable to God, can we cover our sins.  In this time, that blood was certain animals, sacrificed a certain way.  Today, Christ's blood covers all, for those who accept it and claim it.
