A Psalm to Asaph .&
gt ;&
gt ;
The God of gods , [
even ]
the LORD ,
has spoken and convocated the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof .
*
Out of Zion ,
the perfection of beauty ,
God has shined [
forth ].
*
Our God shall come and shall not keep silence ;
a fire shall devour before him ,
and it shall be very tempestuous round about him .
*
He shall convocate the heavens of above ,
and the earth ,
that he may judge his people .
*
Gather my merciful ones together unto me ,
those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice .
*
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness ,
for God himself [
is ]
the judge .
Selah .
*
Hear ,
O my people ,
and I will speak ;
O Israel ,
and I will testify against thee ;
I [
am ]
God , [
even ]
thy God .
*
I will not reprove thee regarding thy sacrifices ;
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 ]
with me .
*
If I were hungry ,
I would not tell thee ;
for the world [
is ]
mine and the fullness thereof .
*
Must I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats ?
*
Sacrifice praise unto God and pay thy vows unto the most High
*
and call upon me in the day of trouble :
I will deliver thee ,
and thou shalt glorify me .
*
But unto the wicked God saith ,
What [
part ]
hast thou to declare my statutes or [
that ]
thou should take my covenant in thy mouth ?
*
Seeing thou dost hate chastening and dost cast my words behind thee .
*
When thou didst see a thief ,
then thou didst consent with him and hast been partaker with adulterers .
*
Thou didst give thy mouth to evil ,
and thy tongue frames deceit .
*
Thou didst sit [
and ]
speak against thy brother ;
thou didst slander thine own mother '
s son .
*
These [
things ]
hast thou done ,
and I kept silence ;
thou didst think that I was altogether [
such a one ]
as thyself , [
but ]
I will reprove thee and set [
them ]
in order before thine eyes .
*
Now consider this ,
ye that forget God ,
lest I take you [
away ],
and [
there be ]
none to deliver .
*
Whosoever sacrifices praise glorifies me ;
and to him that orders [
his ]
ways [
aright ]
I will show the salvation of God .:
