* 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 . * Out of Zion , the perfection of beauty , God hath shined forth . * Our God cometh , and doth not keep silence ; a fire devoureth before Him , and round about Him it stormeth mightily . * He calleth to the heavens above , and to the earth , that He may judge His people : * 'Gather My saints together unto Me ; those that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice .' * And the heavens declare His righteousness ; for God , He is judge . Selah * 'Hear , O My people , and I will speak ; O Israel , and I will testify against thee : God , thy God , am I . * I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices ; and thy burnt-offerings are continually before Me . * I will take no bullock out of thy house , nor he-goats out of thy folds . * For every beast of the forest is Mine , and the cattle upon a thousand hills . * I know all the fowls of the mountains ; and the wild beasts of the field are Mine . * If I were hungry , I would not tell thee ; for the world is Mine , and the fulness thereof . * Do I eat the flesh of bulls , or drink the blood of goats ? * Offer unto God the sacrifice of thanksgiving ; and pay thy vows unto the Most High ; * And call upon Me in the day of trouble ; I will deliver thee , and thou shalt honour Me .' * 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 ? * Seeing thou hatest instruction , and castest My words behind thee . * When thou sawest a thief , thou hadst company with him , and with adulterers was thy portion . * Thou hast let loose thy mouth for evil , and thy tongue frameth deceit . * Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother ; thou slanderest thine own mother 's son . * 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 . * Now consider this , ye that forget God , lest I tear in pieces , and there be none to deliver . * Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanksgiving honoureth Me ; and to him that ordereth his way aright will I show the salvation of God .'
