A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. |
2
|
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth. |
3
|
Our God comes, he does not keep silence, before him is a devouring fire, round about him a mighty tempest. |
4
|
He calls to the heavens above and to the earth, that he may judge his people: |
5
|
"Gather to me my faithful ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice!" |
6
|
The heavens declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge! [Selah] |
7
|
"Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, I will testify against you. I am God, your God. |
8
|
I do not reprove you for your sacrifices; your burnt offerings are continually before me. |
9
|
I will accept no bull from your house, nor he-goat from your folds. |
10
|
For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills. |
11
|
I know all the birds of the air, and all that moves in the field is mine. |
12
|
"If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world and all that is in it is mine. |
13
|
Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? |
14
|
Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High; |
15
|
and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me." |
16
|
But to the wicked God says: "What right have you to recite my statutes, or take my covenant on your lips? |
17
|
For you hate discipline, and you cast my words behind you. |
18
|
If you see a thief, you are a friend of his; and you keep company with adulterers. |
19
|
"You give your mouth free rein for evil, and your tongue frames deceit. |
20
|
You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own mother's son. |
21
|
These things you have done and I have been silent; you thought that I was one like yourself. But now I rebuke you, and lay the charge before you. |
22
|
"Mark this, then, you who forget God, lest I rend, and there be none to deliver! |
23
|
He who brings thanksgiving as his sacrifice honors me; to him who orders his way aright I will show the salvation of God!" |
