The Mighty God, Jehovah, Speaks (Rakem) 2024 Psalter 50A

Text from 1912 Psalter
Tune: Rakem by Isaac B Woodbury 1819-1858

1. The mighty God, Jehovah, speaks
And calls the earth from sea to sea;
From beauteous Zion God shines forth,
He comes and will not silent be;
Devouring flame before Him goes,
And dark the tempest round Him grows.

2. He calls aloud to heav’n and earth
That He may justly judge His own;
My chosen saints together bring
Who sacrifice to Me alone;
The heav’ns His righteousness declare,
For God Himself as Judge is there.

3. Hear, O my people, I will speak,
Against thee I will testify;
Give ear to me, O Israel,
For God, thy cov’nant God, am I;
I do not spurn thy sacrifice,
Thine off’rings are before My eyes.

4. I will receive from out thy fold
No off’ring for My holy shrine;
The cattle on a thousand hills
And all the forest beasts are Mine;
Each mountain bird to Me is known,
Whatever roams the field I own.

5. Behold, if I should hungry grow,
I would not tell My need to thee,
For all the world itself is Mine,
And all its wealth belongs to Me;
Why should I aught of thee receive,
My thirst or hunger to relieve?

6. Bring thou to God the gift of thanks,
And pay thy vows to God Most High;
Call ye upon My holy name
In days when sore distress is nigh;
Deliv’rance I will send to thee,
And praises thou shalt give to Me.

7. Thus speaks the Lord to wicked men:
My statutes why do ye declare?
Why take My cov’nant in your mouth,
Since ye for wisdom do not care?
For ye My holy words profane
And cast them from you in disdain.

8. Ye have consented with the thief,
Ye have partaken with the vile,
Your mouths to evil words ye give,
Your tongues proclaim deceit and guile,
Ye glory in your brother’s shame,
Your mother’s son do ye defame.

9. Thus have ye done; I silence kept,
And this has been your secret thought,
That I was wholly as yourselves,
To take your evil deeds as nought;
I will reprove you and array
Your deeds before your eyes this day.

10. Consider this, who God forget,
Lest I destroy with none to free;
Who offers sacrifice of thanks,
He glorifies and honours Me;
To him who orders well his way
Salvation free I will display.
