v1

A psalm for Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord hath spoken: and he hath called the earth. From the rising of the sun, to the going down thereof:

v2

Out of Sion the loveliness of his beauty.

v3

God shall come manifestly: our God shall come, and shall not keep silence. A fire shall burn before him: and a mighty tempest shall be round about him.

v4

He shall call heaven from above, and the earth, to judge his people.

v5

Gather ye together his saints to him: who set his covenant before sacrifices.

v6

And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge.

v7

Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God.

v8

I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices: and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight.

v9

I will not take calves out of thy house: nor he goats out of thy flocks.

v10

For all the beasts of the woods are mine: the cattle on the hills, and the oxen.

v11

I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field.

v12

If I should be hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

v13

Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks? or shall I drink the blood of goats?

v14

Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: and pay thy vows to the most High.

v15

And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

v16

But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth?

v17

Seeing thou hast hated discipline: and hast cast my words behind thee.

v18

If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker.

v19

Thy mouth hath abounded with evil, and thy tongue framed deceits.

v20

Sitting thou didst speak against thy brother, and didst lay a scandal against thy mother’s son:

v21

These things hast thou done, and I was silent. Thou thoughtest unjustly that I should be like to thee: but I will reprove thee, and set before thy face.

v22

Understand these things, you that forget God; lest he snatch you away, and there be none to deliver you.

v23

The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me: and there is the way by which I will shew him the salvation of God.
