1The mighty one, God the Lord ,[#Josh 22.22]
speaks and summons the earth
from the rising of the sun to its setting.
2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,[#Deut 33.2; Ps 48.2]
God shines forth.
3Our God comes and does not keep silent;[#Ps 96.13; 97.3; Dan 7.10]
before him is a devouring fire
and a mighty tempest all around him.
4He calls to the heavens above[#Deut 4.26; Isa 1.2]
and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5“Gather to me my faithful ones,[#v 8 ; Ex 24.7]
who made a covenant with me by sacrifice!”
6The heavens declare his righteousness,[#Ps 75.7; 89.5]
for God himself is judge. Selah
7“Hear, O my people, and I will speak,[#Ps 81.8]
O Israel, I will testify against you.
I am God, your God.
8Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you;[#Ps 40.6; Hos 6.6]
your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9I will not accept a bull from your house[#Ps 69.31]
or goats from your folds.
10For every wild animal of the forest is mine,[#Ps 104.24]
the cattle on a thousand hills.
11I know all the birds of the air,[#50.11 Gk Syr Tg: Heb mountains]
and all that moves in the field is mine.
12“If I were hungry, I would not tell you,[#Ex 19.5]
for the world and all that is in it is mine.
13Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
14Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,[#Deut 23.21; Heb 13.15; #50.14 Or make thanksgiving your sacrifice to God]
and pay your vows to the Most High.
15Call on me in the day of trouble;[#Ps 81.7; 91.15]
I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”
16But to the wicked God says,[#Isa 29.13]
“What right have you to recite my statutes
or take my covenant on your lips?
17For you hate discipline,[#Neh 9.26; Rom 2.21, 22]
and you cast my words behind you.
18You make friends with a thief when you see one,[#1 Tim 5.22]
and you keep company with adulterers.
19“You give your mouth free rein for evil,
and your tongue frames deceit.
20You sit and speak against your kin;[#Mt 10.21]
you slander your own mother’s child.
21These things you have done, and I have been silent;[#Eccl 8.11]
you thought that I was one just like yourself.
But now I rebuke you and lay the charge before you.
22“Mark this, then, you who forget God,[#Job 8.13; Ps 7.2; 9.17]
or I will tear you apart, and there will be no one to deliver.
23Those who bring thanksgiving as their sacrifice honor me;
to those who go the right way,
I will show the salvation of God.”
