"If I were hungry I would not tell you,This is a continuation of the previous verses, where God is making it clear, through Asaph, that He does not need anything from man. Most gods of the time required man for their continuation. They needed food, or human sacrifices, or worship, in order to keep existing. Without that continued giving up to the god, it would die. Not much of a god, then, if it required man to keep it going.
For the world is Mine, and all it contains.
However, God doesn't need us. We need Him, instead. He doesn't eat, or thirst, or need. Everything is His. He merely lets us use it, should He see fit. Also, He does not have any needs. He doesn't eat, or drink. That would imply that He could be deprived, and He can't. He does not need something He created to continue; He has always existed, and always will.
