Psalm 15:4 — I will not gather their assemblies from bloods
“I will not gather their assemblies from bloods, nor will I remember their names through my lips” (Psalm 15:4).
Gathering, he says, assemblies from the nations, I will not gather them through bloods, nor will I prepare them to come forward to me through the legal worship, but rather through praise and the bloodless sacrifice.
Formerly, he says, they were brought to appellations according to the worth of their deeds, being named idolaters, polytheists; but now I will no longer remember those names, calling them pious and holy, called and elect.

15.4 Οὐ μὴ συναγάγω τὰς συναγωγὰς αὐτῶν ἐξ αἱμάτων, οὐδὲ μὴ μνησθῶ τῶν ὀνο μάτων αὐτῶν διὰ χειλέων μου. Συνάγων, φησὶ, συναγωγὰς ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν, οὐ δι' αἱμάτων αὐτὰ συνάξω, οὐδὲ παρασ κευάσω διὰ τῆς νομικῆς μοι προέρχεσθαι λατρείας, δι' αἰνέσεως δὲ μᾶλλον καὶ τῆς ἀναιμάκτου θυσίας· πάλαι μὲν, φησὶν, ἐπ' ἀ ξίαν τῶν πράξεων ἐπήγοντο προσηγορίας, εἰδωλολάτραι, πολύθεοι ὀνομαζόμενοι· νῦν δὲ οὐκέτι μνησθήσομαι τῶν ὀνομάτων ἐκεί νων· εὐσεβεῖς αὐτοὺς καὶ ἁγίους, κλητούς τε καὶ ἐκλεκτοὺς ὀνομάζων.
