-"Offer God ^(C1)a sacrifice of thanksgiving And ^(C2)pay your vows to the Most High;

^(C1)Call upon Me on the day of trouble; I will ^(C2)rescue you, and you will ^(C3)honor Me."

But to the wicked God says, "What right do you have to tell of My statutes And to take ^(C1)My covenant in your mouth?

-"For you yourself ^(C1)hate discipline, And you ^(C2)throw My words behind you.

-"When you see a thief, you ^(C1)become friends with him, And ^(F1)you ^(C2)associate with adulterers.

-"You ^(F1)(C1)let your mouth loose in evil, And your ^(C2)tongue harnesses deceit.

-"You sit and ^(C1)speak against your brother; You slander your own mother's son.

-"These things you have done and ^(C1)I kept silent; You thought that I was just like you; I will ^(C2)rebuke you and present the case before your eyes.

"Now consider this, you who ^(C1)forget God, Or I will ^(C2)tear you in pieces, and there will be no one to save you.

-"He who ^(C1)offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me; And to him who ^(C2)sets his way properly I will ^(C3)show the salvation of God."
