A Psalm[H4210] of Asaph[H623]. The mighty[H410]God[H430], even the LORD[H3068], hath spoken[H1696], and called[H7121] the earth[H776] from the rising[H4217] of the sun[H8121] unto the going down[H3996] thereof.
2
Out of Zion[H6726], the perfection[H4359] of beauty[H3308], God[H430] hath shined[H3313].
3
Our God[H430] shall come[H935], and shall not keep silence[H2790]: a fire[H784] shall devour[H398]before[H6440] him, and it shall be very[H3966]tempestuous[H8175] round about[H5439] him.
4
He shall call[H7121] to the heavens[H8064] from above[H5920], and to the earth[H776], that he may judge[H1777] his people[H5971].
5Gather[H622] my saints[H2623] together unto me; those that have made[H3772] a covenant[H1285] with me by sacrifice[H2077].
6
And the heavens[H8064] shall declare[H5046] his righteousness[H6664]: for God[H430] is judge[H8199] himself. Selah[H5542].
7Hear[H8085], O my people[H5971], and I will speak[H1696]; O Israel[H3478], and I will testify[H5749] against thee: I am God[H430], even thy God[H430].
8
I will not reprove[H3198] thee for thy sacrifices[H2077] or thy burnt offerings[H5930], to have been continually[H8548] before me.
9
I will take[H3947] no bullock[H6499] out of thy house[H1004], nor he goats[H6260] out of thy folds[H4356].
10
For every beast[H2416] of the forest[H3293] is mine, and the cattle[H929] upon a thousand[H505]hills[H2042].
11
I know[H3045] all the fowls[H5775] of the mountains[H2022]: and the wild beasts[H2123] of the field[H7704] are mine[H5978].
12
If I were hungry[H7456], I would not tell[H559] thee: for the world[H8398] is mine, and the fulness[H4393] thereof.
13
Will I eat[H398] the flesh[H1320] of bulls[H47], or drink[H8354] the blood[H1818] of goats?[H6260]
14Offer[H2076] unto God[H430]thanksgiving[H8426]; and pay[H7999] thy vows[H5088] unto the most High[H5945]:
15
And call[H7121] upon me in the day[H3117] of trouble[H6869]: I will deliver[H2502] thee, and thou shalt glorify[H3513] me.
16
But unto the wicked[H7563]God[H430]saith[H559], What hast thou to do to declare[H5608] my statutes[H2706], or that thou shouldest take[H5375] my covenant[H1285] in thy mouth?[H6310]
17
Seeing thou hatest[H8130]instruction[H4148], and castest[H7993] my words[H1697]behind[H310] thee.
18
When thou sawest[H7200] a thief[H1590], then thou consentedst[H7521] with him, and hast been partaker[H2506] with adulterers[H5003].
19
Thou givest[H7971] thy mouth[H6310] to evil[H7451], and thy tongue[H3956]frameth[H6775]deceit[H4820].
20Thou[H5414]sittest[H3427] and speakest[H1696] against thy brother[H251]; thou[H5414]slanderest[H1848] thine own mother's son[H1121].
21
These things hast thou done[H6213], and I kept silence[H2790]; thou thoughtest[H1819] that I was altogether[H1961] such an one as thyself: but I will reprove[H3198] thee, and set them in order[H6186] before thine eyes[H5869].
22
Now consider[H995] this, ye that forget[H7911]God[H433], lest I tear you in pieces[H2963], and there be none to deliver[H5337].
23
Whoso offereth[H2076]praise[H8426]glorifieth[H3513] me: and to him that ordereth[H7760] his conversation[H1870] aright will I shew[H7200] the salvation[H3468] of God[H430].
