2. From out of Sion hill,which of excellencyAnd beauty the perfection is,God shined gloriously.
3. Our God shall surely come,keep silence shall not he:Before him fire shall waste, great stormsshall round about him be.
4. Unto the heavens clearhe from above shall call,And to the earth likewise, that hemay judge his people all.
5. Together let my saintsunto me gather'd be,Those that by sacrifice have madea covenant with me.
6. And then the heavens shallhis righteousness declare:Because the Lord himself is heby whom men judged are.
7. My people Isr'el hear,speak will I from on high,Against thee I will testify;God, ev'n thy God, am I.
8. I for thy sacrificeno blame will on thee lay,Nor for burnt-off 'rings, which to methou offer'dst ev'ry day.
9. I'll take no calf nor goatsfrom house or fold of thine:
10. For beasts of forests, cattle allon thousand hills, are mine.
11. The fowls on mountains highare all to me well known;Wild beasts which in the fields do lie,ev'n they are all mine own.
12. Then, if I hungry were,I would not tell it thee;Because the world, and fulness allthereof, belongs to me.
