| 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. |
