1 The mighty God, even the LORD, has spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof.

2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shined.

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.

4 He shall 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 shall 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 fullness thereof.

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 shall glorify me.

16 But to the wicked God said, What have you to do to declare my statutes, or that you should take my covenant in your mouth?

17 Seeing you hate instruction, and casts my words behind you.

18 When you saw a thief, then you consented with him, and have been partaker with adulterers.

19 You give your mouth to evil, and your tongue frames deceit.

20 You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own mother' son.

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.

22 Now consider this, you that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

23 Whoever offers praise glorifies me: and to him that orders his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God.

1 The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, hath spoken,

And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.

2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,

God hath shined forth.

3 Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence:

A fire devoureth before him,

And it is very tempestuous round about him.

4 He calleth to the heavens above,

And to the earth, that he may judge his people:

5 Gather my saints together unto me,

Those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness;

For God is judge himself. [Selah

7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak;

O Israel, and I will testify unto thee:

I am God, even thy God.

8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices;

And thy burnt-offerings are continually before me.

9 I will take no bullock out of thy house,

Nor he-goats out of thy folds.

10 For every beast of the forest is mine,

And the cattle upon a thousand hills.

11 I know all the birds of the mountains;

And the wild beasts of the field are mine.

12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee;

For the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls,

Or drink the blood of goats?

14 Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving;

And pay thy vows unto the Most High;

15 And call upon me in the day of trouble:

I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

16 But unto the wicked God saith,

What hast thou to do to declare my statutes,

And that thou hast taken my covenant in thy mouth,

17 Seeing that thou hatest instruction,

And castest my words behind thee?

18 When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst with him,

And hast been partaker with adulterers.

19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil,

And thy tongue frameth deceit.

20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother;

Thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.

21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence;

Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself:

But I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

22 Now consider this, ye that forget God,

Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver:

23 Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me;

And to him that ordereth his way aright

Will I show the salvation of God.
