## đź“ś Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
## A psalm by Asaph.
[[#Verse 01.]] El, God, the Lord has spoken,
and summoned the earth to come from the east and west.
[[#Verse 02.]]Â From Zion, the most beautiful of all places,
God has come in splendor.
[[#Verse 03.]] “May our God come
and not be silent.”
Consuming fire goes ahead of him,
and all around him a storm rages.
[[#Verse 04.]]Â He summons the heavens above,
as well as the earth, so that he might judge his people.
[[#Verse 05.]]Â He says:
“Assemble my covenant people before me,
those who ratified a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
[[#Verse 06.]]Â The heavens declare his fairness,
for God is judge. (Selah)
[[#Verse 07.]]Â He says:
“Listen, my people. I am speaking!
Listen, Israel. I am accusing you.
I am God, your God!
[[#Verse 08.]] I am not condemning you because of your sacrifices,
or because of your burnt sacrifices that you continually offer me.
[[#Verse 09.]] I do not need to take a bull from your household
or goats from your sheepfolds.
[[#Verse 10.]]Â For every wild animal in the forest belongs to me,
as well as the cattle that graze on a thousand hills.
[[#Verse 11.]] I keep track of every bird in the hills,
and the insects of the field are mine.
[[#Verse 12.]]Â Even if I were hungry, I would not tell you,
for the world and all it contains belong to me.
[[#Verse 13.]]Â Do I eat the flesh of bulls?
Do I drink the blood of goats?
[[#Verse 14.]]Â Present to God a thank offering.
Repay your vows to the Most High.
[[#Verse 15.]]Â Pray to me when you are in trouble.
I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”
[[#Verse 16.]]Â God says this to the evildoer:
“How can you declare my commands,
and talk about my covenant?
[[#Verse 17.]]Â For you hate instruction
and reject my words.
[[#Verse 18.]]Â When you see a thief, you join him;
you associate with men who are unfaithful to their wives.
[[#Verse 19.]]Â You do damage with words,
and use your tongue to deceive.
[[#Verse 20.]]Â You plot against your brother;
you slander your own brother.
[[#Verse 21.]]Â When you did these things, I was silent,
so you thought I was exactly like you.
But now I will condemn you
and state my case against you.
[[#Verse 22.]]Â Carefully consider this, you who reject God.
Otherwise I will rip you to shreds
and no one will be able to rescue you.
[[#Verse 23.]]Â Whoever presents a thank offering honors me.
To whoever obeys my commands, I will reveal my power to deliver.”
