One of Asaph's songs. The Lord God Most Powerful has spoken. He calls to everyone on earth, from where the sun rises to where it sets. |
2
|
God appeared from Zion, the city of perfect beauty. |
3
|
Our God is coming and will not keep quiet. Fire burns in front of him. There is a great storm around him. |
4
|
He tells the sky and the earth to be witnesses as he judges his people. |
5
|
He says, "My followers, gather around me. Come, my worshipers, who made an agreement with me." |
6
|
God is the judge, and the skies tell how fair he is. Selah |
7
|
God says, "My people, listen to me! People of Israel, I will show my evidence against you. I am God, your God. |
8
|
The problem I have with you is not your sacrifices or the burnt offerings you bring to me everyday. |
9
|
Why would I want more bulls from your barns or goats from your pens? |
10
|
I already own all the animals in the forest. I own all the animals on a thousand hills. |
11
|
I know every bird in the mountains. Everything that moves in the fields is mine. |
12
|
If I were hungry, I would not ask you for food. I already own the world and everything in it. |
13
|
I don't eat the meat of bulls or drink the blood of goats." |
14
|
You made promises to God Most High, so give him what you promised. Bring your sacrifices and thank offerings. |
15
|
God says, "Call me when trouble comes. I will help you, and you will honor me." |
16
|
But God says to the wicked, "Stop quoting my laws! Stop talking about my agreement! |
17
|
You hate for me to tell you what to do. You ignore what I say. |
18
|
You see a thief and run to join him. You jump into bed with those who commit adultery. |
19
|
You say evil things and tell lies. |
20
|
You sit around talking about people, finding fault with your own brothers. |
21
|
When you did these things, I said nothing. So you thought that I was just like you. But I will not be quiet any longer. I will correct you and make clear what I have against you. |
22
|
You people who have forgotten God, understand what I am telling you, or I will tear you apart, and no one will be able to save you! |
23
|
Whoever gives a thank offering shows me honor. And whoever decides to live right will see my power to save." |
