- 1
- LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill?
- 2
- He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart
- 3
- and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman,
- 4
- who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the LORD, who keeps his oath even when it hurts,
- 5
- who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.

- 6
- And the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for God himself is judge. Selah
- 7
- "Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.
- 8
- I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.
- 9
- I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens,
- 10
- for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
- 11
- I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine.
- 12
- If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
- 13
- Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
- 14
- Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High,
- 15
- and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me."
- 16
- But to the wicked, God says: "What right have you to recite my laws or take my covenant on your lips?
- 17
- You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you.
- 18
- When you see a thief, you join with him; you throw in your lot with adulterers.
- 19
- You use your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit.
- 20
- You speak continually against your brother and slander your own mother's son.
- 21
- These things you have done and I kept silent; you thought I was altogether [1] like you. But I will rebuke you and accuse you to your face.
- 22
- "Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with none to rescue:
- 23
- He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him [2] the salvation of God."
