2 From Zion, the perfection of beauty,God shines forth.
3 Our God comes and will not be silent!Devouring fire precedes him,it rages strongly around him.
4 He calls to the heavens aboveand to the earth to judge his people:
5 “Gather my loyal ones to me,those who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness,for God himself is the judge.Selah
7 “Listen, my people, I will speak;Israel, I will testify against you;God, your God, am I.
8 Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you,your burnt offerings are always before me.
