How to Honor God

58 The Lord says, “Shout out loud. Don’t hold back.
    ·Shout out loud [L Raise/lift up your voice] like a trumpet.
Tell my people ·what they have done against their God [their transgression];
    tell ·the family of Jacob about [L Jacob] their sins.
They ·still come looking for [seek] me ·every day [day to day]
    and ·want [delight] to learn my ways.
They act just like a nation that does ·what is right [righteousness],
    that ·obeys [L did not forsake/reject] the ·commands [judgments] of its God.
They ask me ·to judge them fairly [for righteous judgment].
    They ·want [delight] to ·be near [draw near to] God.

    Raise your voice like a trumpet.(B)
Declare to my people their rebellion(C)
    and to the descendants of Jacob their sins.(D)
For day after day they seek(E) me out;
    they seem eager to know my ways,

    and has not forsaken(F) the commands of its God.
They ask me for just decisions
    and seem eager for God to come near(G) them.
