International Standard Version

1A psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to where it sets.

1God, the LORD, has spoken. He has summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting place.

2From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.

2From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shined forth.

3Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages.

3Our God has appeared and he has not been silent; a devouring fire blazed before him, and a mighty storm swirled around him.

4He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that he may judge his people:

4He summoned the heavens above and the earth below, to sit in judgment on his people.

5"Gather to me this consecrated people, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice."

5"Assemble before me, my saints, who have entered into my covenant by sacrifice."

6And the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for he is a God of justice.

6The heavens revealed his justice, for God is himself the judge. Interlude

7"Listen, my people, and I will speak; I will testify against you, Israel: I am God, your God.

7"Listen, my people, for I am making a pronouncement: Israel, I, God, your God, am testifying against you.

8I bring no charges against you concerning your sacrifices or concerning your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.

8I do not rebuke you because of your sacrifices; indeed, your burnt offerings are continuously before me.

9I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens,

9I will no longer accept a sacrificial bull from your household; nor goats from your pens.

10for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.

10Indeed, every animal of the forest is mine, even the cattle on a thousand hills.

11I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects in the fields are mine.

11I know all the birds in the mountains; indeed, everything that moves in the field is mine.

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

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

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

13Why should I eat the flesh of oxen or drink the blood of goats?

14"Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High,

14Offer to God a thanksgiving praise; pay your vows to the Most High.

15and call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me."

15Call on me in the day of distress; I will deliver you, and you will glorify me."

16But to the wicked person, God says: "What right have you to recite my laws or take my covenant on your lips?

16As for the wicked, God says, "How dare you recite my statutes or speak about my covenant with your lips!

17You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you.

17You hate instruction and toss my words behind you.

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

18When you see a thief, you befriend him, and you keep company with adulterers.

19You use your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit.

19You give your mouth free reign for evil, and your tongue devises deceit.

20You sit and testify against your brother and slander your own mother's son.

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

21When you did these things and I kept silent, you thought I was exactly like you. But I now arraign you and set my accusations before you.

21These things you did, and I kept silent, because you assumed that I was like you. But now I am going to rebuke you, and I will set forth my case before your very own eyes."

22"Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:

22Consider this, you who have forgotten God— Otherwise, I will tear you in pieces and there will be no deliverer:

23Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me, and to the blameless I will show my salvation."

23Whoever offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, and I will reveal the salvation of God to whomever continues in my way."
