The God of gods, even the Lord, has sent out his voice, and the earth is full of fear; from the coming up of the sun to its going down.

From Zion, most beautiful of places, God has sent out his light.

Our God will come, and will not keep quiet; with fire burning before him, and storm-winds round him.

Let my saints come together to me; those who have made an agreement with me by offerings.

And let the heavens make clear his righteousness; for God himself is the judge. (Selah.)

Give ear, O my people, to my words; O Israel, I will be a witness against you; I am God, even your God.
