501 The Mighty One , God , the Lord , has spoken , And summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting . 2 Out of Zion , the perfection of beauty , God has shone forth . 3 May our God come and not keep silence ; Fire devours before Him, And it is very tempestuous around Him. 4 He summons the heavens above e , And the earth , to judge His people : 5 "Gather My godly ones to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice ." 6 And 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 "I do not reprove you for your sacrifices , And your burnt offerings are continually before Me. 9 "I shall take no young bull out of your house Nor male goats out of your folds . 10 "For every beast of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills . 11 "I know every bird of the mountains , And everything that moves in the field is Mine . 12 "If I were hungry I would not tell you, For the world is Mine, and all it contains . 13 "Shall I eat the flesh of bulls Or drink the blood of male goats ? 14 "Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving And pay your vows to the Most High ; 15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble ; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me."
16 But to the wicked God says , "What right have you to tell of My statutes And to take My covenant in your mouth ? 17 "For you hate discipline , And you cast My words behind you. 18 "When you see a thief , you are pleased with him, And you associate with adulterers . 19 "You let your mouth loose in evil And your tongue frames deceit . 20 "You sit and speak against your brother ; You slander e your own mother's son . 21 "These things you have done and I kept silence ; You thought that I was just like you; I will reprove you and state the case in order before your eyes . 22 "Now consider this , you who forget God , Or I will tear you in pieces, and there will be none to deliver . 23 "He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me; And to him who orders his way aright I shall show the salvation of God ."
531 The fool has said in his heart , "There is no God ," They are corrupt , and have committed abominable injustice ; There is no one who does good . 2 God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there is anyone who understands , Who seeks after God . 3 Every one of them has turned aside ; together they have become corrupt ; There is no one who does good , not even one . 4 Have the workers of wickedness no knowledge , Who eat up My people as though they ate bread And have not called upon God ? 5 There they were in great fear where no fear had been ; For God scattered the bones of him who encamped against you; You put them to shame , because God had rejected them. 6 Oh e , that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion ! When God restores His captive people , Let Jacob rejoice , let Israel be glad .
601 O God , You have rejected us. You have broken us; You have been angry ; O, restore us. 2 You have made the land quake , You have split it open ; Heal its breaches , for it totters . 3 You have made Your people experience hardship ; You have given us wine to drink that makes us stagger . 4 You have given a banner to those who fear You, That it may be displayed because e of the truth . Selah . 5 That Your beloved may be delivered , Save with Your right hand , and answer us!
6 God has spoken in His holiness : "I will exult , I will portion out Shechem and measure out the valley of Succoth . 7 " Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet of My head ; Judah is My scepter . 8 " Moab is My washbowl ; Over Edom I shall throw My shoe ; Shout loud , O Philistia , because of Me!" 9 Who will bring me into the besieged city ? Who will lead me to Edom ? 10 Have not You Yourself , O God , rejected us? And will You not go forth with our armies , O God ? 11 O give us help against the adversary , For deliverance by man is in vain . 12 Through God we shall do valiantly , And it is He who will tread down our adversaries .
751 We give thanks to You, O God , we give thanks , For Your name is near ; Men declare Your wondrous works . 2 "When I select an appointed time , It is I who judge with equity . 3 "The earth and all who dwell in it melt ; It is I who have firmly set its pillars . Selah . 4 "I said to the boastful , 'Do not boast ,' And to the wicked , ' Do not lift up the horn ; 5 Do not lift up your horn on high , Do not speak with insolent pride .' "
6 For not from the east , nor from the west , Nor from the desert comes exaltation ; 7 But God is the Judge ; He puts down one and exalts another . 8 For a cup is in the hand of the Lord , and the wine foams ; It is well mixed , and He pours out of this ; Surely all the wicked of the earth must drain and drink down its dregs . 9 But as for me, I will declare it forever ; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob . 10 And all the horns of the wicked He will cut off , But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
