| 1 | A Psalm of Asaph. God, God, the LORD, 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 cometh, and doth not keep silence; a fire devoureth before Him, And round about Him it stormeth mightily. |
| 4 | He calleth to the heavens above, and to the earth, that He may judge His people: |
| 5 | 'Gather My saints together unto Me; those that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.' |
| 6 | And the heavens declare His righteousness; for God, He is judge. Selah |
| 7 | 'Hear, O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: God, thy God, am I. |
| 8 | I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices; and thy burnt-offerings are 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, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. |
| 11 | I know all the fowls of the mountains; and the wild beasts 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 | Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? |
| 14 | Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High; |
| 15 | And call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt honour Me.' |
| 16 | But unto the wicked God saith: 'What hast thou to do to declare My statutes, And that thou hast taken My covenant in thy mouth? |
| 17 | Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest My words behind thee. |
| 18 | When thou sawest a thief, thou hadst company with him, and with adulterers was thy portion. |
| 19 | Thou hast let loose thy mouth for evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. . |
| 20 | Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother's son. |
| 21 | These things hast thou done, and should I have kept silence? Thou hadst thought that I was altogether such a one as thyself; but I will reprove thee, and set the cause before thine eyes. |
| 22 | Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear in pieces, and there be none to deliver. |
| 23 | Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving honoureth Me; and to him that ordereth his way aright Will I show the salvation of God.' |
