O My people, remember now
What (A)Balak king of Moab counseled,
And what Balaam the son of Beor answered him,
From [a]Acacia Grove to Gilgal,
That you may know (B)the righteousness of the Lord.”

With what shall I come before the Lord,
And bow myself before the High God?
Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings,
With calves a year old?
(C)Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
Ten thousand (D)rivers of oil?
(E)Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
[b]The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
