^1 (a)The Mighty One, God, the Lord, has spoken,
And summoned the earth ^(b)from the rising of the sun to its setting.
² Out of Zion, ^(c)the perfection of beauty,
God ^(d)has shone forth.
³ May our God ^(e)come and not keep silence;
^(f)Fire devours before Him,
And it is very ^(g)tempestuous around Him.
⁴ He ^(h)summons the heavens above,
And the earth, to judge His people:
⁵ "Gather My ⁽ⁱ⁾godly ones to Me,
Those who have made a ^(j)covenant with Me by ^(k)sacrifice."
⁶ And the ^(l)heavens declare His righteousness,
For ^(m)God Himself is judge. ^[b]Selah.

⁷ "⁽ⁿ⁾Hear, O My people, and I will speak;
O Israel, I will testify ^[c]against you;
I am God, ^(o)your God.
⁸ "I do ^(p)not reprove you for your sacrifices,
And your burnt offerings are continually before Me.
⁹ "I shall take no ^(q)young bull out of your house
Nor male goats out of your folds.
¹⁰ "For ^(r)every beast of the forest is Mine,
The cattle on a thousand hills.
¹¹ "I know every ^(s)bird of the mountains,
And everything that moves in the field is ^[d]Mine.
¹² "If I were hungry I would not tell you,
For the ^(t)world is Mine, and ^[e]all it contains.
¹³ "Shall I eat the flesh of ^[f](u)bulls
Or drink the blood of male goats?
¹⁴ "Offer to God ^(v)a sacrifice of thanksgiving
And ^(w)pay your vows to the Most High;
^15 (x)Call upon Me in the day of trouble;
I shall ^(y)rescue you, and you will ^(z)honor Me."

¹⁶ But to the wicked God says,
"What right have you to tell of My statutes
And to take ^(aa)My covenant in your mouth?
¹⁷ "For you ^(ab)hate discipline,
And you ^(ac)cast My words behind you.
¹⁸ "When you see a thief, you ^[g](ad)are pleased with him,
And ^[h]you ^(ae)associate with adulterers.
¹⁹ "You ^[i](af)let your mouth loose in evil
And your ^(ag)tongue frames deceit.
²⁰ "You sit and ^(ah)speak against your brother;
You slander your own mother's son.
²¹ "These things you have done and ^(ai)I kept silence;
You thought that I was just like you;
I will ^(aj)reprove you and state the case in order before your eyes.

²² "Now consider this, you who ^(ak)forget God,
Or I will ^(al)tear you in pieces, and there will be none to deliver.
²³ "He who ^(am)offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me;
And to him who ^[j](an)orders his way aright
I shall ^(ao)show the salvation of God."
