3Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence: A fire devoureth before him, And it is very tempestuous round about him.

3Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

3Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.

3 OurGod will come, and will not keep silence: fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

4Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

4 He will call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people:

5Gather my saints together unto me, Those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

5Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.

5 Gather unto me mygodly ones, those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice!

6And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; For God is judge himself. [Selah

7Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, even thy God.

7Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.

7For behold I was conceived in iniquities; and in sins did my mother conceive me.

7 Hear, my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I amGod, thyGod.

8I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; And thy burnt-offerings are continually before me.

8I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.

8For behold thou hast loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.

8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt-offerings, continually before me;

9I will take no bullock out of thy house, Nor he-goats out of thy folds.

9I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.

9Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he-goats out of thy folds:

10For every beast of the forest is mine, And the cattle upon a thousand hills.

10For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

10To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.

10 For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle upon a thousand hills;

11I know all the birds of the mountains; And the wild beasts of the field are mine.

11I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

11Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.

11 I know all the fowl of the mountains, and the roaming creatures of the field are mine:

12If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; For the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

12If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

12Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels.

13Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?

13Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

13Cast me not away from thy face; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

13 Should I eat the flesh of bulls, and drink the blood of goats?

15And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

16But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, And that thou hast taken my covenant in thy mouth,

16But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?

16Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall extol thy justice.

16 But unto the wickedGod saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant into thy mouth,

17Seeing that thou hatest instruction, And castest my words behind thee?

17O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: and my mouth shall declare thy praise.

18When thou sawest a thief, thou consentedst with him, And hast been partaker with adulterers.

18When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.

18For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.

19Thou givest thy mouth to evil, And thy tongue frameth deceit.

19 Thou lettest thy mouth loose to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit;

20Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.

20Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.

20Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.

20 Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother, thou revilest thine own mother's son:

21These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself: ButI will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

21These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

21Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.

21 These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether as thyself: [but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.

22Now consider this, ye that forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver:

23Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me; And to him that ordereth his way aright Will I show the salvation of God.
