* A Psalm of Asaph . The mighty God , the LORD , has spoken , and called the earth from the rising of the sun to [its ] going down . * Out of Zion , the perfection of beauty , God has shone . * Our God comes , and He is not silent ; a fire shall devour before Him , and it shall be very stormy all around Him . * He shall call to the heavens from above , and to the earth , so that He may judge His people . * Gather My saints to Me ; and those who cut My covenant by sacrifice . * And the heavens shall declare His righteousness ; for God Himself [is ] judge . Selah . * Hear , My people , and I will speak , O Israel , and I will testify against you ; I [am ] God , your God . * I will not reprove you for your sacrifices ; yea , your burnt offerings [are ] continually before Me . * I will take no bull out of your house , [nor ] he-goats out of your folds . * For every beast of the forest [is ] Mine , [and ] the cattle on a thousand hills . * I know all the birds of the mountains ; and the wild beasts of the field [are ] Mine . * If I were hungry , I would not tell you , for the world [is ] Mine , and the fullness of it . * Will I eat the flesh of the mighty , or drink the blood of goats ? * Offer to God thanksgiving ; and pay your vows to the Most High ; * and call on Me in the day of trouble ; and I will deliver you , and you shall glorify Me . * But to the wicked , God says , What [is it ] to you , to declare My statutes , and to take up My covenant in your mouth ? * Yea , you hate to be taught , and you toss My words behind you . * When you saw a thief , then you were pleased to be with him , and you [have taken ] part with adulterers . * You give your mouth to evil , and your tongue frames deceit . * You sit ; you speak against your brother ; you slander your own mother 's son . * These [things ] you have done , and I have kept silence ; you thought [that ] I was like yourself , [but ] I will rebuke you , and set in order before your eyes . * Now think of this , you who forget God , lest I tear [you ] in pieces , and there be none to deliver . * Whoever offers praise glorifies Me ; and he who sets a way , I will show him the salvation of God .
