¹ Slušajte šta govori Gospod: Ustani, sudi se s gorama, i neka čuju humovi glas tvoj.

² Slušajte, gore i tvrdi temelji zemaljski, parbu Gospodnju, jer Gospod ima parbu s narodom svojim, i s Izrailjem se sudi.

³ Narode moj, šta sam ti učinio? I čim sam ti dosadio? Odgovori mi.

⁴ Jer te izvedoh iz zemlje misirske i iskupih iz kuće ropske i poslah pred tobom Mojsija, Arona i Mariju.

⁵ Narode moj, opomeni se šta naumi Valak car moavski i šta mu odgovori Valam, sin Veorov, od Sitima do Galgala šta bi, da poznaš pravdu Gospodnju.

⁶ Sa čim ću doći pred Gospoda da se poklonim Bogu Višnjem? Hoću li doći preda Nj sa žrtvama paljenicama? S teocima od godine?

⁷ Hoće li Gospodu biti mile hiljade ovnova? Desetine hiljada potoka ulja? Hoću li dati prvenca svog za prestup svoj? Plod utrobe svoje za greh duše svoje?

⁸ Pokazao ti je, čoveče, šta je dobro; i šta Gospod ište od tebe osim da činiš što je pravo i da ljubiš milost i da hodiš smerno s Bogom svojim?

⁹ Glas Gospodnji viče gradu, i ko je mudar vidi ime tvoje; slušajte prut i Onog koji ga je odredio.

¹⁰ Nije li jošte u kući bezbožnikovoj blago nepravo? I efa krnja, gadna?

¹¹ Hoće li mi biti čist u koga su merila lažna i u tobocu prevarno kamenje?

¹² Jer su bogatuni njegovi puni nepravde, i stanovnici govore laž, i u ustima im je jezik prevaran.

¹³ Zato ću te i ja biti da oboliš, pustošiću te za grehe tvoje.

¹⁴ Ti ćeš jesti, ali se nećeš nasititi, i padanje tvoje biće usred tebe; i sklanjaćeš, ali nećeš izbaviti, i što izbaviš predaću maču.

¹⁵ Ti ćeš sejati, ali nećeš žeti; ti ćeš cediti masline, ali se nećeš namazati uljem, i mast, ali nećeš piti vino.

¹⁶ Jer se drže uredbe Amrijeve i sva dela doma Ahavovog, i hodite po savetima njihovim, da te predam u pogibao, i stanovnike njegove u podsmeh, i nosićete sramotu naroda mog.

¹ The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, speaks, and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.

² Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.

³ Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.

⁴ He calls to the heavens above, to the earth, that he may judge his people:

⁵ "Gather my saints together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."

⁶ The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. Selah.

⁷ "Hear, my people, and I will speak; Israel, and I will testify against you. I am God, your God.

⁸ I don't rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.

⁹ I have no need for a bull from your stall, nor male goats from your pens.

¹⁰ For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.

¹¹ I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals 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 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

¹⁴ Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.

¹⁵ Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me."

¹⁶ But to the wicked God says, "What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,

¹⁷ since you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?

¹⁸ When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.

¹⁹ "You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.

²⁰ You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother's son.

²¹ You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

²² "Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be none to deliver.

²³ Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, and prepares his way so that I will show God's salvation to him." For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
