EIGHT

"The Mighty One, God the Lord,

has spoken and called the earth

from the rising of the sun to its going down.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,

God will shine forth.

Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent;

A fire shall devour before Him,

And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.

He shall call to the Heavens from above,

and to the earth, that He may judge His people;

'Gather My saints together to Me,

those who have made a Covenant with Me by sacrifice.'

Let the Heavens declare His Righteousness,

For God Himself is Judge.

'Hear, O My people, and I will speak,

O Israel, and I will testify against you;

I am God, your God!

I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices

or your burnt offerings,

which are continually before Me.

I will not take a bull from your house,

nor goats out of your folds.

For every beast of the forest is Mine,

and the cattle on a thousand hills.

I know all the birds of the mountains,

and the wilds beasts of the field are Mine.

If I were hungry, I would not tell you;

For the world is Mine, and all its fullness.

Will I eat the flesh of bulls,

or drink the blood of goats?

Offer to God thanksgiving,

and pay your vows to the Most High.

Call upon Me in the day of trouble;

I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.'"

Psalm 50

We offer ourselves to You, anew, this day, Lord God

and we ask you to cause us to pay our vows to You

We call upon Your Name, for surely this is 

a day of great trouble

and we ask for Your Deliverance, Your Saving Grace

to gather us unto You, bind up our wounds 

and protect us from those who hate us

We are Your people and we will now 

pay our vows to You

May we bring You great Glory across this earth

for surely You will deliver and save all 

who call upon Your Name
