- The Mighty One, God, the LORD, has spoken, And summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
- Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone forth.
- May our God come and not keep silence; Fire devours before Him, And it is very tempestuous around Him.
- He summons the heavens above, And the earth, to judge His people:
- "Gather My godly ones to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice."
|
- And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is judge. Selah.
- "Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, I will testify against you; I am God, your God.
- "I do not reprove you for your sacrifices, And your burnt offerings are continually before Me.
- "I shall take no young bull out of your house Nor male goats out of your folds.
- "For every beast of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills.
|
- "I know every bird of the mountains, And everything that moves in the field is Mine.
- "If I were hungry I would not tell you, For the world is Mine, and all it contains.
- "Shall I eat the flesh of bulls Or drink the blood of male goats?
- "Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving And pay your vows to the Most High;
- Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me."
