2 Out of Zion <06726>, the perfection <04359> of beauty <03308>, God <0430> hath shined <03313> (8689).
3 Our God <0430> shall come <0935> (8799), and shall not keep silence <02790> (8799): a fire <0784> shall devour <0398> (8799) before <06440> him, and it shall be very <03966> tempestuous <08175> (8738) round about <05439> him.
 - FIRE OF GOD
4 He shall call <07121> (8799) to the heavens <08064> from above <05920>, and to the earth <0776>, that he may judge <01777> (8800) his people <05971>.
5 Gather <0622> (8798) my saints <02623> together unto me; those that have made <03772> (8802) a covenant <01285> with me by sacrifice <02077>.
6 And the heavens <08064> shall declare <05046> (8686) his righteousness <06664>: for God <0430> is judge <08199> (8802) himself. Selah <05542>.
7 # Hear <08085> (8798), O my people <05971>, and I will speak <01696> (8762); O Israel <03478>, and I will testify <05749> (8686) against thee: I am God <0430>, even thy God <0430>.
8 I will not reprove <03198> (8686) thee for thy sacrifices <02077> or thy burnt offerings <05930>, to have been continually <08548> before me.
9 I will take <03947> (8799) no bullock <06499> out of thy house <01004>, nor he goats <06260> out of thy folds <04356>.
10 For every beast <02416> of the forest <03293> is mine, and the cattle <0929> upon a thousand <0505> hills <02042>.
11 I know <03045> (8804) all the fowls <05775> of the mountains <02022>: and the wild beasts <02123> of the field <07704> are mine <05978>.
12 If I were hungry <07456> (8799), I would not tell <0559> (8799) thee: for the world <08398> is mine, and the fulness <04393> thereof.
13 Will I eat <0398> (8799) the flesh <01320> of bulls <047>, or drink <08354> (8799) the blood <01818> of goats <06260>?
14 Offer <02076> (8798) unto God <0430> thanksgiving <08426>; and pay <07999> (8761) thy vows <05088> unto the most High <05945>:
Praise is the greatest gift we can give Him.
- PRAISE

15 And call <07121> (8798) upon me in the day <03117> of trouble <06869>: I will deliver <02502> (8762) thee, and thou shalt glorify <03513> (8762) me.
 - CALLING ON GOD
16 # But unto the wicked <07563> God <0430> saith <0559> (8804), What hast thou to do to declare <05608> (8763) my statutes <02706>, or that thou shouldest take <05375> (8799) my covenant <01285> in thy mouth <06310>?
17 Seeing thou hatest <08130> (8804) instruction <04148>, and castest <07993> (8686) my words <01697> behind <0310> thee.
18 When thou sawest <07200> (8804) a thief <01590>, then thou consentedst <07521> (8799) with him, and hast been partaker <02506> with adulterers <05003> (8764).
19 Thou givest <07971> (8804) thy mouth <06310> to evil <07451>, and thy tongue <03956> frameth <06775> (8686) deceit <04820>.
 - WORDS - FOOLISH
20 Thou sittest <03427> (8799) and speakest <01696> (8762) against thy brother <0251>; thou <05414> (8799) slanderest <01848> thine own mother's <0517> son <01121>.
 - SLANDER
21 These things hast thou done <06213> (8804), and I kept silence <02790> (8689); thou thoughtest <01819> (8765) that I was altogether <01961> (8800) such an one as thyself: but I will reprove <03198> (8686) thee, and set them in order <06186> (8799) before thine eyes <05869>.
22 Now consider <0995> (8798) this, ye that forget <07911> (8802) God <0433>, lest I tear you in pieces <02963> (8799), and there be none to deliver <05337> (8688).
 - JUDGEMENT
23 Whoso offereth <02076> (8802) praise <08426> glorifieth <03513> (8762) me: and to him that ordereth <07760> (8804) his conversation <01870> aright will I shew <07200> (8686) the salvation <03468> of God <0430> .
We should praise when we really do not feel like it. Then it becomes a sacrifice.
