3. Our God approaches and is not silent;consuming fire goes ahead of himand all around him a storm rages.
4. He summons the heavens above,as well as the earth, so that he might judge his people.
5. He says:“Assemble my covenant people before me,those who ratified a covenant with me by sacrifice!”
6. The heavens declare his fairness,for God is judge. (Selah)
7. He says:“Listen my people! I am speaking!Listen Israel! I am accusing you!I am God, your God!
8. I am not condemning you because of your sacrifices,or because of your burnt sacrifices that you continually offer me.
