2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
3Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence:
4He calleth to the heavens above,
5Gather my saints together unto me,
6And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; For God is judge himself. (Selah)
7Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, [even] thy God.
8I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; And thy burnt-offerings are continually before me.
9I will take no bullock out of thy house,
10For every beast of the forest is mine,
11I know all the birds of the mountains; And the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; For the world is mine, and the fullness thereof.
13Will I eat the flesh of bulls,
14Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; And pay thy vows unto the Most High;
15And call upon me in the day of trouble:
16But unto the wicked God saith,
17Seeing thou hatest instruction,
18When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst with him,
19Thou givest thy mouth to evil,
20Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
21These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself:
22Now consider this, ye that forget God,
23Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me; And to him that ordereth his way [aright]
