2. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth.
3. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
4. He shall call to the heavens above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5. Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
6. And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; for God is judge himself. Selah
7. Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, even thy God.
8. I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; and thy burnt offerings are continually before me.
9. I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds.
10. For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13. Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
