A psalm of Asaph. God brings charges against his people.
v.1-2 God speaks:
1 The Mighty One, God the Lord,
speaks and summons the earth
from the rising of the sun to its setting.
v.3-6 God himself will judge the people. (Isa. 3:13)
v.7-15 God wants his people to keep their covenant, (empty) sacrifices are not enough.
v.16-21 God lays out his charges against the wicked.
v.22-23 Admonishment to offer thanksgiving to God.
23 The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me;
to one who orders his way rightly
I will show the salvation of God!
God wants a faithful and righteous people, not empty religion. God will judge his people for their sin. Selah.
