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