MLV(i)
1 The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, has spoken and called the earth from the rising of the sun to the going down of it.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone forth.
3 Our God comes and does not keep silence. A fire devours before him and it whirlwinds much all around him. 4 He calls to the heavens above and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
5 Gather my holy ones together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. 6 And the heavens will declare his righteousness, because God is judge himself. Selah.
7 Hear, O my people and I will speak, O Israel and I will testify to you, I am God, even your God. 8 I will not reprove you for your sacrifices and your burnt offerings being continually before me. 9 I will take no bullock out of your house, nor male-goats out of your folds.
10 Because 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 you, because the world is mine and the fullness of it. 13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving and pay your vows to the Most High. 15 And call upon me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you and you will glorify me.
16 But to the wicked man God says, What have you to do to declare my statutes and that you have taken my covenant in your mouth, 17 since you hate instruction and cast my words behind you?
18 When you saw a thief, 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's son.
21 These things you have done and I kept silence. You thought that I was altogether such a one as yourself. But I will reprove you and set them in order before your eyes.
22 Now consider this, you* who forget God, lest I tear you* in pieces and there is none to deliver: 23 Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me. And to him who orders his way aright I will show the salvation of God.
