1. A psalm for Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord hath spoken: and He hath called the earth. From the rising of the sun, to the going down thereof:
2. Out of Sion the loveliness of His beauty.
3. God shall come manifestly: our God shall come, and shall not keep silence. A fire shall burn before Him: and a mighty tempest shall be round about him.
4. He shall call heaven from above, and the earth, to judge his people.
5. Gather ye together his saints to Him: who set his covenant before sacrifices.
6. And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge.
7. Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to Thee: I am God, Thy God.
8. I will not reprove Thee for thy sacrifices: and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight.
9. I will not take calves out of Thy house: nor he goats out of Thy flocks.
10. For all the beasts of the woods are mine: the cattle on the hills, and the oxen.
11. I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field.

11. I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field.
12. If I should be hungry, I would not tell Thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13. Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks? or shall I drink the blood of goats?
14. Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: and pay Thy vows to the most High.
15. And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver Thee, and Thou shalt glorify me.
16. But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost Thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth?
17. Seeing Thou hast hated discipline: and hast cast my words behind thee.
18. If Thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker.
19. Thy mouth hath abounded with evil, and thy tongue framed deceits.

20. Sitting Thou didst speak against Thy brother, and didst lay a scandal against thy mother’s son:
21. These things hast Thou done, and I was silent. Thou thoughtest unjustly that I should be like to Thee: but I will reprove Thee, and set before thy face.
