¹ A Psalm of Asaph God, Jehovah God, has spoken, and calls to the earth from the rising of the sun to its going in.² Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone.³ Our God comes, and He is not silent; a fire shall devour before Him; and it shall be very stormy around Him.⁴ He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, to judge His people.⁵ Gather My saints together to Me, those who cut My covenant by sacrifice.⁶ And the heavens shall declare His righteousness, for God Himself is judge. Selah.

⁷ Hear, My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you; I am God, your God.⁸ Not for your sacrifices do I reprove you; yea, your burnt offerings are continually before Me;⁹ I will take no bull out of your house, nor he-goats out of 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 mountains; and all moving in My fields are Mine;¹² if I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is Mine, and the fullness of it.¹³ Will I eat the flesh of mighty ones , and will I drink the blood of he-goats?¹⁴ Offer thanksgiving to God, and pay your vows to the Most High.¹⁵ And call on Me in the day of distress, and I will save you; and you shall glorify Me.

¹⁶ But to the wicked, God says, What is it to you to proclaim My statutes, and to take up My covenant on your mouth?¹⁷ Yea, you hate instruction and toss My Words behind you.¹⁸ When you saw a thief, you were pleased with him; and with adulterers is your portion.¹⁹ You give your mouth to evil, and your tongue frames deceit.²⁰ You sit; you speak against your brother; you give fault to the son of your mother.²¹ You have done these things , and I have kept silence; you thought that surely I would be like you; but I will rebuke you and set in order before your eyes.²² Now think of this, you who forget God, lest I tear, and there not be any to deliver:²³ Whoever offers thanks glorifies Me; and he who prepares a way, I will show the salvation of God to him.
