2From Zion, most beautiful of places, God has sent out his light.
3Our God will come, and will not keep quiet; with fire burning before him, and storm-winds round him.
4His voice will go out to the heavens and to the earth, for the judging of his people:
5Let my saints come together to me; those who have made an agreement with me by offerings.
6And let the heavens make clear his righteousness; for God himself is the judge. (Selah.)
7Give ear, O my people, to my words; O Israel, I will be a witness against you; I am God, even your God.
8I will not take up a cause against you because of your offerings, or because of your burned offerings, which are ever before me.
9I will take no ox out of your house, or he-goats from your flocks;
