1 - A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God, 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 cometh, and doth not keep silence: A fire devoureth before him, And it is very tempestuous round about him.
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 shall declare his righteousness; For God is judge himself. Selah
7 - Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify unto thee: I am God, [even] thy God.
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 birds 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 - Will 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 glorify 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 consentedst with him, And hast been partaker with adulterers.
19 - Thou givest thy mouth to 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 I kept silence; Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one 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 you in pieces, and there be none to deliver:
23 - Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifieth me; And to him that ordereth his way [aright] Will I show the salvation of God.
