‘Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving :
 and pay your vows to the Most High.
‘Call upon me in the day of trouble :
 I will bring you out, and you shall glorify me.’
But God says to the wicked :
 ‘What have you to do with reciting my laws,
   or taking my covenant on your lips,
‘Seeing you loathe discipline :
 and have tossed my words behind you?
‘When you saw a thief, you went along with him :
 and you threw in your lot with adulterers.
‘You have loosed your mouth in evil :
 and your tongue strings lies together.
‘You sit and speak against your brother :
 and slander your own mother’s son.
‘These things you have done, and I held my tongue :
 and you thought I was just such another as yourself.
‘But I will convict you :
 and set before your eyes what you have done.
‘O consider this, you who forget God :
 lest I tear you in pieces, and there be no one to save you.
‘He honours me who brings sacrifice of thanksgiving :
 and to him who keeps to my way
   I will show the salvation of God.’
