1The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, hath spoken,
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;
7Hear, O my people, and I will speak;
8I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices;
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;
12If I were hungry, I would not tell thee;
13Will I eat the flesh of bulls,
14Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving;
15And call upon me in the day of trouble:
16But unto the wicked God saith,
17Seeing that 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;
21These things hast thou done, and I kept silence;
22Now consider this, ye that forget God,
23Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me;
