¹ [A Psalme of Asaph.] The mightie God, euen the Lord hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sunne, vnto the going downe thereof. ² Out of Sion the perfection of beautie, God hath shined. ³ Our God shall come, and shall not keepe silence: a fire shall deuoure before him, and it shalbe very tempestuous round about him. ⁴ He shall call to the heauens from aboue, and to the earth, that hee may iudge his people. ⁵ Gather my Saints together vnto mee: those that haue made a couenant with me, by sacrifice. ⁶ And the heauens shall declare his righteousnes; for God is iudge himselfe. Selah.

⁷ Heare, O my people, and I will speake, O Israel, and I will testifie against thee; I am God, euen thy God. ⁸ I will not reproue thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt offerings, to haue bene continually before me. ⁹ I will take no bullocke out of thy house, nor hee goates out of thy folds. ¹⁰ For euery beast of the forrest is mine, and the cattell vpon a thousand hilles. ¹¹ I know all the foules of the mountaines: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. ¹² If I were hungry, I would not tell thee, for the world is mine, and the fulnesse thereof. ¹³ Will I eate the flesh of bulles, or drinke the blood of goats? ¹⁴ Offer vnto God thankesgiuing, and pay thy vowes vnto the most high. ¹⁵ And call vpon mee in the day of trouble; I will deliuer thee, and thou shalt glorifie me.

¹⁶ But vnto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to doe, to declare my Statutes, or that thou shouldest take my Couenant in thy mouth? ¹⁷ Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behinde thee. ¹⁸ When thou sawest a thiefe, then thou consentedst with him, and hast bene partaker with adulterers. ¹⁹ Thou giuest thy mouth to euill, and thy tongue frameth deceit. ²⁰ Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine owne mothers sonne. ²¹ These things hast thou done, and I kept silence: thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thy selfe: but I will reproue thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. ²² Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I teare you in pieces, and there be none to deliuer. ²³ Who so offereth praise, glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conuersation aright, will I shew the saluation of God.
