^1 (b)The Mighty One, God the Lord,
    speaks and summons the earth
    ^(c)from the rising of the sun to its setting.
² Out of Zion, ^(d)the perfection of beauty,
    ^(e)God shines forth.

³ Our God comes; he ^(f)does not keep silence;^[a]
    before him is a devouring ^(g)fire,
    around him a mighty tempest.
^4 (h)He calls to the heavens above
    and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
⁵ "Gather to me my faithful ones,
    who made ⁽ⁱ⁾a covenant with me by sacrifice!"
^6 (j)The heavens declare his righteousness,
    for ^(k)God himself is judge! Selah

^7 (l)"Hear, O my people, and I will speak;
    O Israel, I will testify against you.
    ^(m)I am God, your God.
⁸ Not for your sacrifices ⁽ⁿ⁾do I rebuke you;
    your burnt offerings are continually before me.
⁹ I will not accept a bull from your house
    or goats from your folds.
¹⁰ For every beast of the forest is mine,
    the cattle on a thousand hills.
^11 (o)I know all the birds of the hills,
    and all that moves in the field is mine.

¹² "If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
    ^(p)for the world and its fullness are mine.
¹³ Do I eat the flesh of bulls
    or drink the blood of goats?
^14 (q)Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,^[b]
    and ^(r)perform your vows to the Most High,
¹⁵ and ^(s)call upon me in the day of trouble;
    I will ^(t)deliver you, and you shall ^(u)glorify me."

¹⁶ But to the wicked God says:
    "What right have you to recite my statutes
    or take my covenant on your lips?
^17 (v)For you hate discipline,
    ^(w)and you cast my words behind you.
¹⁸ If you see a thief, ^(x)you are pleased with him,
    ^(y)and you keep company with adulterers.

¹⁹ "You give your mouth free rein for evil,
    ^(z)and your tongue frames deceit.
²⁰ You sit and speak against your brother;
    you slander your own mother's son.
²¹ These things you have done, and I ^(aa)have been silent;
    you thought that I^[c] was one like yourself.
But now I ^(ab)rebuke you and ^(ac)lay the charge before you.

²² "Mark this, then, you who ^(ad)forget God,
    lest I tear you apart, and there be ^(ae)none to deliver!
²³ The one who ^(af)offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me;
    to one who ^(ag)orders his way rightly
    I will show the ^(ah)salvation of God!"
