    The Mighty One Calls

    A Psalm of Asaph.

    God appears as judge to remind the godly and the ungodly in turn that outward performance of sacrificial rituals and recitation of the law are worthless without thankfulness, repentance, and justice.

    The whole universe must pay attention when God approaches to bring justice into the world.
    1The Mighty One, God the LORD,speaks and summons the earthfrom where the sun rises to where it sets.2From Zion, perfect in beauty,God shines forth.3Our God approaches and will not be silent!Consuming fire precedes Him,and a tempest rages around Him.

    The Lord is coming to bring righteousness. This hope encourages his faithful people, but those who have been unfaithful will not experience blessing when the heavens above and earth below testify against them (cp. Deut 30:19; 31:28; 32:1; Isa 1:2). The Lord comes to restore order to the world (Pss 5:8; 22:31; 33:5; 40:9; 50:6; 71:16; 97:6).
    4He summons the heavens above,and the earth, that He may judge His people:5“Gather to Me My saints,who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”6And the heavens proclaim His righteousness,for God Himself is Judge.†Selah

    The psalmist delivers a message against those who regard the sacrificial rituals as more important than having a proper heart attitude.
    7“Hear, O My people, and I will speak,O Israel, and I will testify against you:I am God, your God.8I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices,and your burnt offerings are ever before Me.9I have no need for a bull from your stallor goats from your pens,10for every beast of the forest is Mine—the cattle on a thousand hills.11I know every bird in the mountains,and the creatures of the field are Mine.12If I were hungry, I would not tell you,for the world is Mine, and the fullness thereof.13Do I eat the flesh of bulls,or drink the blood of goats?14Sacrifice a thank offering to God,and fulfill your vows to the Most High.15Call upon Me in the day of trouble;I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”

    This message is against the wicked, who only pretend to listen to God.
    16To the wicked, however, God says,“What right have you to recite My statutesand to bear My covenant on your lips?17For you hate My instructionand cast My words behind you.18When you see a thief, you befriend him,and throw in your lot with adulterers.19You unleash your mouth for eviland harness your tongue to deceit.20You sit and malign your brother;you slander your own mother’s son.21You have done these things, and I kept silent;you thought I was† just like you.But now I rebuke youand accuse you to your face.†

    The wicked will experience God’s justice, while the godly will see God’s everlasting salvation.
    22Now consider this, you who forget God,lest I tear you to pieces,with no one to rescue you:23He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me,and to him who rightly orders his way,I will show the salvation of God.”
