3 Our God comes, and he won't be silent. A burning fire goes ahead of him. A terrible storm is all around him.
4 He calls out to heaven and earth to be his witnesses. Then he judges his people.
5 He says, "Gather my holy people around me. They made a covenant with me by offering a sacrifice."
6 The heavens announce that what God decides is right. He himself is the Judge. Selah
7 God says, "Listen, my people, and I will speak. Listen , Israel , and I will give witness against you. I am God, your God.
8 I don't find fault with you because of your sacrifices. I don't find fault with the burnt offerings you always bring me.
9 I don't need a bull from your barn. I don't need goats from your pens.
