⁷ “Listen, my people, and I will speak;
    I will testify^(Q) against you, Israel:
    I am God, your God.^(R)
8 I bring no charges^(S) against you concerning your sacrifices
    or concerning your burnt offerings,^(T) which are ever before me.
⁹ I have no need of a bull^(U) from your stall
    or of goats^(V) from your pens,^(W)
10 for every animal of the forest^(X) is mine,
    and the cattle on a thousand hills.^(Y)
11 I know every bird^(Z) in the mountains,
    and the insects in the fields^(AA) are mine.
¹² If I were hungry I would not tell you,
    for the world^(AB) is mine, and all that is in it.^(AC)
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
    or drink the blood of goats?

¹⁴ “Sacrifice thank offerings^(AD) to God,
    fulfill your vows^(AE) to the Most High,^(AF)
15 and call^(AG) on me in the day of trouble;^(AH)
    I will deliver^(AI) you, and you will honor^(AJ) me.”

“What right have you to recite my laws
    or take my covenant^(AK) on your lips?^(AL)
17 You hate^(AM) my instruction
    and cast my words behind^(AN) you.
¹⁸ When you see a thief, you join^(AO) with him;
    you throw in your lot with adulterers.^(AP)
19 You use your mouth for evil
    and harness your tongue to deceit.^(AQ)
20 You sit and testify against your brother^(AR)
    and slander your own mother’s son.
²¹ When you did these things and I kept silent,^(AS)
    you thought I was exactly^[c] like you.
But I now arraign^(AT) you
    and set my accusations^(AU) before you.

²² “Consider this, you who forget God,^(AV)
    or I will tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:^(AW)
23 Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me,
    and to the blameless^[d] I will show my salvation.^(AX)”

How good it is to sing praises to our God,
    how pleasant^(A) and fitting to praise him!^(B)

² The Lord builds up Jerusalem;^(C)
    he gathers the exiles^(D) of Israel.
³ He heals the brokenhearted^(E)
    and binds up their wounds.^(F)
4 He determines the number of the stars^(G)
    and calls them each by name.
⁵ Great is our Lord^(H) and mighty in power;^(I)
    his understanding has no limit.^(J)
6 The Lord sustains the humble^(K)
    but casts the wicked^(L) to the ground.

⁷ Sing to the Lord^(M) with grateful praise;^(N)
    make music^(O) to our God on the harp.^(P)

⁸ He covers the sky with clouds;^(Q)
    he supplies the earth with rain^(R)
    and makes grass grow^(S) on the hills.
⁹ He provides food^(T) for the cattle
    and for the young ravens^(U) when they call.

¹⁰ His pleasure is not in the strength^(V) of the horse,^(W)
    nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;
¹¹ the Lord delights^(X) in those who fear him,^(Y)
    who put their hope^(Z) in his unfailing love.^(AA)

the mountain^(D) of the Lord’s temple will be established
    as the highest of the mountains;^(E)
it will be exalted^(F) above the hills,
    and all nations will stream to it.^(G)

“Come, let us go^(I) up to the mountain^(J) of the Lord,
    to the temple of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
    so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law^(K) will go out from Zion,
    the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.^(L)
4 He will judge^(M) between the nations
    and will settle disputes^(N) for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
    and their spears into pruning hooks.^(O)
Nation will not take up sword against nation,^(P)
    nor will they train for war anymore.
