¹ The mighty God, even the LORD, has spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun to the going down of it. ² Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shined. ³ Our God will come, and will not keep silence: a fire will devour before him, and it will be very temptsuous round about him. ⁴ He will call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. ⁵ Gather my saints together to me those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. ⁶ And the heavens will declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah. ⁷ Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, even your God. ⁸ I will not reprove you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, to have been continually before me. ⁹ I will take no bullock out of your house, nor he goats out of your folds. ¹⁰ For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. ¹¹ I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. ¹² If I were hungry, I would not tell you: for the world is mine, and the fulness of it. ¹³ Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? ¹⁴ Offer to God thanksgiving and pay your vows to the most High ¹⁵ And call on me in the day of trouble: I will deliver you, and you will glorify me. ¹⁶ But to the wicked God says, What have you to do to declare my statutes, or that you should take my covenant in your mouth? ¹⁷ Seeing as you hate instruction, and cast my words behind you. ¹⁸ When you saw a thief, then you consented7521> with him, and have been partaker with adulterers. ¹⁹ You give your mouth to evil, and your tongue frames deceit. ²⁰ You sit and speaks against your brother you slander your own mother's son. ²¹ These things have you done, and I kept silence; you thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as yourself: but I will reprove you, and set them in order before your eyes. ²² Now consider this, you that forget God, in case I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. ²³ Whoso offers praise glorifies me: and to him that orders his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God.
