¹ [(0)] A psalm of Asaf: [(1)] The Mighty One, God, ADONAI, is speaking, summoning the world from east to west.

² Out of Tziyon, the perfection of beauty, God is shining forth.

³ Our God is coming and not staying silent. With a fire devouring ahead of him and a great storm raging around him,

⁴ he calls to the heavens above and to earth, in order to judge his people.

⁵ “Gather to me my faithful, those who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”

⁶ The heavens proclaim his righteousness, for God himself is judge. (Selah)

⁷ “Listen, my people, I am speaking: Isra’el, I am testifying against you, I, God, your God.

⁸ I am not rebuking you for your sacrifices; your burnt offerings are always before me.

⁹ I have no need for a bull from your farm or for male goats from your pens;

¹⁰ for all forest creatures are mine already, as are the animals on a thousand hills;

¹¹ I know all the birds in the mountains; whatever moves in the fields is mine.

¹² If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world is mine, and everything in it.

¹³ Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?

¹⁴ Offer thanksgiving as your sacrifice to God, pay your vows to the Most High,

¹⁵ and call on me when you are in trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

¹⁶ But to the wicked God says: “What right do you have to proclaim my laws or take my covenant on your lips,

¹⁷ when you so hate to receive instruction and fling my words behind you?

¹⁸ When you see a thief, you join up with him, you throw in your lot with adulterers,

¹⁹ you give your mouth free rein for evil and harness your tongue to deceit;

²⁰ you sit and speak against your kinsman, you slander your own mother’s son.

²¹ When you do such things, should I stay silent? You may have thought I was just like you; but I will rebuke and indict you to your face.

²² Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with no one to save you.

²³ “Whoever offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice honors me; and to him who goes the right way I will show the salvation of God.”
