| 1 A Psalm. Of Asaph. *God, Elohim-Jehovah, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. |
|
| 2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined forth. |
|
| 3 Our God will come, and will not keep silence: fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. |
|
| 4 He will call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people: |
|
| 5 Gather unto me my godly ones, those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice! |
|
| 6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness; for God executeth judgment himself. Selah. |
|
| 7 Hear, my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, thy God. |
|
| 8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt-offerings, continually before me; |
|
| 9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he-goats out of thy folds: |
|
| 10 For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle upon a thousand hills; |
|
| 11 I know all the fowl of the mountains, and the roaming creatures of the field are mine: |
|
| 12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. |
|
| 13 Should I eat the flesh of bulls, and drink the blood of goats? |
|
| 14 Offer unto God thanksgiving, and perform thy vows unto the Most High; |
|
| 15 And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. |
|
| 16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant into thy mouth, |
|
| 17 Seeing thou hast hated correction and hast cast my words behind thee? |
|
| 18 When thou sawest a thief, thou didst take pleasure in him, and thy portion was with adulterers; |
|
| 19 Thou lettest thy mouth loose to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit; |
|
| 20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother, thou revilest thine own mother's son: |
|
| 21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thougthest that I was altogether as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. |
|
| 22 Now consider this, ye that forget +God, lest I tear in pieces, and there be no deliverer. |
|
| 23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me; and to him that ordereth his way will I shew the salvation of God. |
