| 1 A Psalm of Asaph. |
|
| The God of gods Jehovah hath spoken, And He calleth to the earth From the rising of the sun unto its going in. |
|
| 2 From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone. |
|
| 3 Our God cometh, and is not silent, Fire before Him doth devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous. |
|
| 4 He doth call unto the heavens from above, And unto the earth, to judge His people. |
|
| 5 Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice. |
|
| 6 And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself [is] judge. Selah. |
|
| 7 Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God [am] I. |
|
| 8 Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings [Are] before Me continually. |
|
| 9 I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats. |
|
| 10 For Mine [is] every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen. |
|
| 11 I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field [is] with Me. |
|
| 12 If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine [is] the world and its fulness. |
|
| 13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats |
|
| 14 Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows. |
|
| 15 And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest Me. |
|
| 16 And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee to recount My statutes That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth |
|
| 17 Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee. |
|
| 18 If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers [is] thy portion. |
|
| 19 Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together, |
|
| 20 Thou sittest, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a son of thy mother givest slander. |
|
| 21 These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes. |
|
| 22 Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer. |
|
| 23 He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God! |
