The mighty one calls

1
A PSALM OF ASAPH. The God of gods—YHWHhas spoken, || And He calls to the earth || From the rising of the sun to its going in.
2
From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.
3
Our God comes, and is not silent, || Fire devours before Him, || And around Him it has been very tempestuous.
4
He calls to the heavens from above, || And to the earth, to judge His people.
5
Gather My saints to Me, || Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.
6
And the heavens declare His righteousness, || For God Himself is judging. Selah.
7
Hear, O My people, and I speak, || O Israel, and I testify against you, || God—I [am] your God.
8
I do not reprove you for your sacrifices, || Indeed, your burnt-offerings || [Are] continually before Me.
9
I do not take a bullock from your house, || [Or] male goats from your folds.
10
For every beast of the forest [is] Mine, || The livestock on the hills of oxen.
11
I have known every bird of the mountains, || And the wild beast of the field [is] with Me.
12
If I am hungry I do not tell [it] to you, || For the world and its fullness [is] Mine.
13
Do I eat the flesh of bulls, || And drink the blood of male goats?
14
Sacrifice to God confession, || And complete your vows to the Most High.
15
And call Me in a day of adversity, || I deliver you, and you honor Me.
16
And to the wicked God has said: What to youto recount My statutes? That you lift up My covenant on your mouth?
17
Indeed, you have hated instruction, || And cast My words behind you.
18
If you have seen a thief, || Then you are pleased with him, || And your portion [is] with adulterers.
19
You have sent forth your mouth with evil, || And your tongue joins deceit together,
20
You sit, you speak against your brother, || You give slander against a son of your mother.
21
These you did, and I kept silent, || You have thought that I am like you, || I reprove you, and set in array before your eyes.
22
Now understand this, || You who are forgetting God, || Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.
23
He who is sacrificing praise honors Me, || As for him who makes a way, || I cause him to look on the salvation of God!

The mighty one calls

1
The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks, and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.
2
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines out.
3
Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.
4
He calls to the heavens above, to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5
“Gather my saints together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
6
The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. Selah.
7
Hear, my people, and I will speak. Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, your God.
8
I don’t rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9
I have no need for a bull from your stall, nor male goats from your pens.
10
For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.
11
I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.
12
If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
13
Will I eat the meat of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14
Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.
15
Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”
16
But to the wicked God says,What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,
17
since you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?
18
When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.
19
You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.
20
You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother’s son.
21
You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.
22
Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be no one to deliver.
23
Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, and prepares his way so that I will show God’s salvation to him.”
