1. The Mighty One, God the Lord,speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
2. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.
3. Our God comes; he does not keep silence;before him is a devouring fire,around him a mighty tempest.
4. He calls to the heavens aboveand to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5. “Gather to me my faithful ones,who made a covenant with me by sacrifice!”
6. The heavens declare his righteousness,for God himself is judge! Selah
7. “Hear, O my people, and I will speak;O Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, your God.
8. Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you;your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9. I will not accept a bull from your houseor goats from your folds.
10. For every beast of the forest is mine,the cattle on a thousand hills.
11. I know all the birds of the hills,and all that moves in the field is mine.
